So I just switched to Google's Play Newsstand from Flipboard and I love it. Much more fluid and pretty. The Flipboard was cool a while ago but got a bit tired of it now.

However since Newsstand lets you bookmark articles, there's no options to use a dark/ night mode on those articles?

For now seems it can't replace apps like Pocket & Instapaper for such things, right?
 
One thing confusing me a bit tho is every time you refresh it reshuffles older articles to the top. A bit confusing. Wish it was more chronological in time.

For example there's articles only 10-45 minutes old yet it's way below articles that are hours old. Why is that? Really confusing :/

I know I can't base others' decisions to make my own, everyone has their own needs, I'm just curious as to what your guys' input is!

I believe it learns what articles you view most and puts those first. That could be the reason, but I am not 100% sure.
