A little late here, but the comment may be useful. I actively use both services (and Pinboard), but for different things. Pocket for me is "something is possibly interesting but I don't have time to work that out right now", Instapaper is a store of long form articles that I want to read (on tablet, Mac, phone or Kindle), and Pinboard is bookmarks. The separation of concerns is useful for my mental model of what I intend to happen when I open each of these apps.
