What is Read It Later?
A Firefox extension that allows you to save pages of interest to read later. It eliminates cluttering of bookmarking sites that are sometimes of a one-time interest only. It can be your bridge to bookmarking a site more permanently. Jump down this video for a quick presentation.

How it Came to Be?
Sometimes (if not often), we would run into sites or articles that we want to read, but could not at that specific moment. In my case, and most of the time, I will bookmark it on my favorite links and read it later or in some occasions even send the link to myself via email. What I found, is that this process at a certain point and time, cluttered my browser and my inbox with so many links. Also, I had to have my internet connected so I can read them later.
Why does this plugin help?
1. When you come across something you want to read later, simply click the ‘Read Later’ button and the page is instantly inserted into your reading list.
2. Then when you have some free time, just click ‘Reading List’ and it’ll pull up something for you to read.
3. When you are finished, click Mark it As Read and it will be removed from your list.
4. You can also choose to "read later" in offline mode. Can come in handy if you are in a bus or somewhere with no internet connection.
After reading what you have marked to be worth bookmarking, you can then bookmark it in a more permanent form, either in your list of favorites or any online bookmarking service such as Del.icio.us or Digg. Give it a try. This tool is being offered way undervalued for what it is worth. How much? Nada, absolutely nothing. Install your Read It Later plugin and read everything you want, later:)
