Merging Two Accounts
I somehow created two accounts for Read It Later and I would now like them combined. One was created using the Firefox add-on and the other with the iPhone app. Does anyone know if I can combine them?

Merging shouldn't be a problem.
Try the following:
First, make sure you are using the 2.0 version of the Firefox extension as it will make this easier:

In the example below, I'll refer to the two accounts as Account A and Account B. And we'll say that Account B is the account you want to merge A into.
In Firefox:
--------------
1. Open your reading list
2. Click the options icon
3. In the options window, select the account tab
4. Click Logout
6. Click Login
7. Login to Account A
8. Open your reading list
9. Right click the sync icon and select 'Full sync'
10. Repeat steps 1-9 above but login to Account B instead.
On the iPhone:
------------
1. Open the app
2. Open the options
3. Click 'logout'
4. Login to Account B
Both the app and the Firefox extension should have the same list now and the contents of account's A and B should be in Account B.

Thanks! Now I have combined my two lists and don't need to deal with Xmarks just to see the items I saved on another computer. Now I can really start relying on ReadItLater! Private comment hidden

I can't find the sync button. I'm using Postponer for Google Chrome, and I wish to merge that account
