Based on https://fedia.io/m/[email protected]/t/2206365/Alternatives-to-MZLA-Pocket I'm going to try Wallabag and/or Readeck. Probably the critical issue is whether you can self-host or not:

  • Wallabag has a paid public instance, but Readeck you'd have to host yourself until their public service launches later this year (see https://readeck.org/en/start)
  • Wallabag uses the Pocket API to transfer data (so I think you'd need to migrate before Pocket shuts down), whilst Readeck can import the file produced by a Pocket export.
  • Wallabag has phone apps, whilst Readeck is browser-only (does your e-reader support a browser?)
  • Readeck can export to ebook formats (so might be more useful for e-readers in this regard); not sure about Wallabag
