Read It Later Support

Where can I find my reading list?

• Nate

  In the Firefox extension you can access your reading list one of two ways:
  
  1. Through the dropdown on the Read It Later toolbar button.
  
  Click the down arrow on the Read It later button on your toolbar. (Which looks like this: http://readitlaterlist.com/i/v2/ff_list.png)
  
  If you do not have the toolbar button:
  1. Right click the toolbar and select Customize...
  2. Find the button and drag it into your toolbar.
  
  If you do not see the button listed in available buttons, make sure you are not hiding any toolbars, the button may be hidden there. For more see:

  2. Open in sidebar
  
  You can configure this to happen everytime you click the toolbar button using the Customize tab in the options or you can select from the Firefox menu View -> Sidebar -> Read It Later

  Ohhhh. I finally found it. You know, it would help if you put a red circle around Read It Later button in the illustration you link to above. I was looking for the "Reading List" to automatically be below my google search field.
  
  Okay, thanks!!!!

  How can I "share" the list between different browsers on the same machine? I'm trying out the Wyzo variant on FF, and when I installed ReadItLater, it wants to create an entirely new list. Not a disaster, but I'd prefer they were in common.    Private comment hidden

    Brian,
    The actual list itself - for Firefox browser anyway - is in a document called readItLater.sqlite located in your Firefox user profile folder.
    
    I use XP, so for me that path is:
    "C:\Documents and Settings\{username}\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\{profilename)\readItLater.sqlite"
    
    I do not know how to share the list between browsers though. But with some creativity, it surely can be done. Just back up your original RIL file somewhere before getting TOO creative!
