LateReader is a Windows Mobile application for reading your Read It Later lists. Actually this application does (or aims) more than just reading your list. You can search, sort your list, download pages for offline reading. Share your list items with others. And more. Please note that this is a .NET application and requires .NET CF 3.5+ to be installed on your device.

Credits
* First of all thanks to xda-developers forum user zefiltrin (hugocbp) for the idea (see his thread), also thanks to other members on that thread for their comments
* LateReader uses Sense SDK, and I must admit that this wonderful library freed me from hundreds of lines of custom drawing code.
* I used Majestic12 HTML parser for parsing page texts
* Finally I must thank to the makers of Read It Later
