Read It Later

If you're like a lot of busy executives, you have an easy time finding interesting and profitable things to read online, but trouble finding the time to finish a longer article in one sitting — or even to start reading an article that you've just discovered.

Promising "one reading list, everywhere you are," Read It Later (RIL), allows users to save pages from a computer or phone, to read on or offline, even without an Internet connection.

Read It Later syncs the reader's position in every article between all devices, so that a user can start reading an article on their computer, for example, and then finish it later on their iPhone or other device, picking up exactly where they left off.

RIL is integrated into many popular applications and platforms, with versions for the iPhone as well as for Firefox and Internet Explorer, Chrome, Safari, Android, Blackberry, Pre and other devices and platforms.

Now in version 2.0, RIL was recently redesigned to offer more features with a cleaner and less cluttered interface.

According to a company representative, the redesign had three main goals: to be smarter, more readable and more consistent, so that every part of the service has the same unified look and feel.

"Do more automatically for the user. Don't ask a user to click a button, click it for them," the spokesperson said. "Each function or button should always be just under your finger when you need it, but until then, keep it out of the way."

Tagging has been made easier and more useful in the new version, which now also supports tagging directly in the iPhone app, which makes categorizing items into groups and folders easier than ever.

Pick up a copy today and make learning a whole lot easier.

Somewhere in one of our stores, someone scanned a barcode into a quantity field. The number entered was 8,388,607. At $19.99 per unit, that made a single line item worth roughly $167 million. The number was so large that the import failed immediately.

Vendo CEO Mitch Platt Reflects on 20 Years of Lessons and Evolution

More than 20 years ago, three entrepreneurs in Barcelona began gathering over beers to pitch, dissect and routinely destroy one another's business ideas.

How to Avoid the Hidden Risks of AI-Generated Legal Documents

Artificial intelligence can write a contract in seconds, but that does not mean it can write the contract your business actually needs. Across the adult industry, operators, creators and producers are increasingly using generative AI to prepare model releases, performer agreements, privacy policies, takedown notices, employment documents and responses to regulators. The appeal is obvious: Legal work is expensive, AI is fast and the resulting document often looks impressively professional. That polished appearance is exactly what makes the practice dangerous.

Why E-Payment Diversification Matters for Merchant Stability

Match payment methods to your customers. Look at where your customers are located, how they prefer to pay and which products they purchase. A business with significant European traffic may benefit from SEPA or Pay by Bank, while a subscription-based business may prioritize ACH or cryptocurrency. Add the payment methods your customers are most likely to use, as not every option is available.

AI at Work: The Tools and Practices Powering Creativity, Commerce and Compliance

For years, artificial intelligence felt like the plot of a science-fiction movie. Pop culture gave us Skynet from “The Terminator,” the replicants of “Blade Runner” and countless visions of machines replacing human creativity altogether. AI was cast as either humanity's next great breakthrough or the beginning of a dystopian future.

Key Questions Online Merchants Should Know About PCI Compliance
