Is there a Reading List extension for Chrome? I have a deep, dark hatred of Safari, but Reading List seems more convenient than Pocket of Readability. Or, is there a way to access it by any non-safari means at all?

Best Answer
All reading list is a simple wrapper around bookmarks, that allows you quick access to both add and remove entries. It's usefulness stops there really, and the matter of convenience boils down to what you want to use the stored pages for, and how you wish to access them. If you are just using the same computer and will always have a net connection, then yes it's very convenient, but if you want to have them stored offline and synced to multiple devices, then it's not so useful.
I don't use Chrome, but I would probably look to get an extension for either Pocket/Readability/Instapaper to mimic the reading list feature, by making your recently stored pages available from a toolbar button rather than having to login to the respective sites. This gives you all the added benefits of using a proper 'service', with the instant nature of a quick bookmark system. A quick search for "instapaper" yielded 50 results on the Chrome extension store thing
