I read a lot of articles. In the past, I've used Pocket to access articles on all my devices.

I prefer to read on my e-ink tablet, where scrolling is a pain. So I need a read-it-later app that supports page-turning, the same way an e-book does.

Pocket used to have this feature, but they killed it with their most recent update.

Wallabag has this feature, but I find the Wallabag fonts ugly and unreadable.

Omnivore does not appear to have this feature.

Does anyone use a read-it-later app that supports page-turning?

Thank you!

@mulcahey I've had decent luck contacting Pocket support about this kind of thing in the past, so I just did. I'll reply with their response.

In case anyone from Pocket/Mozilla are reading this, it's ticket 116385.

@mulcahey Here's the first response.

> At this time, the Page Flipping option of the Reading Menu is no longer available. Nonetheless, it's really helpful to know that you would like to have this feature again, and I've labeled this conversation, so our team is aware that you've found this feature very useful for your reading experience.

@mulcahey Out of curiosity, word-for-word?
