Chrome's Reading List is a feature that lets you save any web page to read at a later time. It is different from a regular bookmark — items in your Reading List are clearly marked as "read" or "unread," and Chrome also saves the page content so you can read it later even without an internet connection.
This is handy when you come across an interesting article, recipe, or news story but do not have time to read it right now. Save it to the Reading List in one tap and come back to it whenever you are ready.
The Reading List syncs across all your devices where you are signed into Chrome — so articles saved on your phone appear on your computer and vice versa.
On Android and iPhone, the Reading List is built into the Chrome app. On a computer, it is in the side panel or the bookmarks toolbar.
Reading List is not a replacement for bookmarks — bookmarks are for pages you visit regularly (like your bank's website). Reading List is for content you want to read once and then mark as done.
