For the second year running, I finished the year in the Top 1% of Pocket readers worldwide. Of course, percentile rankings like these are useless without more data on Pocket’s users, many of whom I suspect downloaded the app but rarely use it. Even still, I’m a verifiable maniac when it comes to reading, fueled by Pocket and Kindle. Here’s the stats Pocket released for my “Year in Review”:
- 5,599,107: words read
- 119: books-equivalent
- 1,332,737: average words read by my Facebook and Twitter connections who use Pocket
- Most saved topics (Pocket’s categories): Current Events, Health, Travel, Sports, Education
