'Reading List' Screenshots from Mac OS X Lion

9to5mac is reporting that it syncs with the iPhone.

So basically it's just a bookmark system?

And the difference is....?

Every once in a while, especially when I'm doing research, I find a page on the internet that has relative information that I want/need to read. Since I'm only interested in that one page/article, I don't want to permanently bookmark it. I prefer to only bookmarks websites that I'm interested in returning on a continual basis.

What I want is a temporary link that I can come back to later. If I want to save pages to read later, I have to bookmark them and that sometimes makes my browser clutter up with a bunch of random bookmarks that I only need temporarily. This new "read later" system of saving links is just what I need instead of my current method, where I save links to a research folder, then delete the folder when I'm done.

No, it is not, this is a "read later" system, not a bookmark one.

Yaa?

Didn't IE5 for Mac have something like this back in the day?

So, it's Scrapbook for Firefox's ScrapBook extension, then?

It can be both. I frequently use Instapaper for as a temporary bookmark system.

Though based on these screenshots, it doesn't seem this will be a further extension of the Safari's Reader. I wonder if the list will move to iOS devices when synced or take advantage of whatever "cloud" thing Apple's got coming up.

Does anyone know if I can add a page to the reading list via a link to it, without loading the page directly? It would be useful when reading a blog to be able to load the full entry pages I want to read directly into my reading list, without having to open them in another tab in Safari first, add them to the reading list, and then close the tab.
