## Keep it, or make your own?

**Your call.** A read-later list at its plainest is saved links with tags. You could make the core of Booky for yourself: bookmarks and web clipper. What you would give up is listed below. Whether that is worth the price is your call. At $26.81 a year it costs less than the weekend it would take to replace, which is the argument for keeping it.

- You could make: Bookmarks and web clipper: an app builder makes these well.
- You could not: Apps for Windows, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.

A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool. Nothing was built to test it.
