>No, because when you bookmark you have to remember to go back to your list of bookmarks to re-read the article
I have a folder on my bookmark bar titled "Articles". When I don't have time to read an interesting article I see, I add it to that folder. When I'm bored and can't find anything to read, I open that folder.
I'd argue that most people's pain point isn't lack of remembering they have articles saved to read.
I don't have a habit of checking in on my Pocket account, so I often end up Pocketing things that I want to read later, forgetting about them altogether, and then finding them weeks after they're no longer relevant or useful.

I always add things there to read later, and then I forget, and then I spend my time cleaning it out of crap that's no longer useful or relevant.
*disclaimer - I built timecapsule.io
The fact that none of this information is shown scares the heck out of me. It's a shame - I like the concept.
All that effort to solve information overload, and you know what? I never went back to read the articles I saved for later. And the length of the list just kept growing. Filtering down to just the interesting stuff still left too much interesting stuff for me to make it through. Eventually I had to declare "saved item" bankruptcy and delete all the data.
What I leaned was: No amount of technology is going to fix my behavior towards information consumption. Only mindfulness and a change of habits can make a real difference. Without that, these tools just add to the information overload problem.
EDIT: if it's an article with important enough information in it that I'll likely need. While I'm reading it, I'm usually taking notes in nvAlt that I can reference in the future in a way that's indexed/organized for me to find.
Besides, the next day you might find that the articles you wanted to read weren't as useful as you thought.
