The main idea is that you can access it regardless of which device you're currently using. Like saving an article you see when you're on your PC for when you're about to leave so you can read it on your phone while on the train

You can do that just with Firefox's syncing feature though. You don't even have to save it intentionally; so long as you're logged in on both devices it'll be listed in your history and/or open tabs.

Not on devices without Firefox. Pocket is great for sending articles to read on my Kindle, for example.

That is useful, but I see it's a third-party feature. I was able to find a "send to Kindle" page on Amazon that would allow the sending of a page as a PDF file.
