- bmalicoat 16y agoI love the Pro version, well worth the price. But if you need convincing there is a free version too. I can't imagine not having it after using it for the last few months. I actually read lots of long articles I would typically skim to save time.
- nooneelse 16y agoInstapaper is nice and usable, but for this it is also a kludge. It forces the user to pick ahead of time which things they will and won't want to read later, instead of the simpler possibility. That being, letting the user just stop at any point in the interaction, confident in the assumption that the machine will take care of whatever annoying details are necessary for the page to still be there when they come back to where they left it. Having to pick ahead of time isn't all that onerous, so the work-around is a pretty good one. It also has the benefit that you can pull it up on another machine, so that is nice. However, that too could be done more simply by having all of the user's browsers sync the their histories.
- MWinther 16y agoWell, in fairness, picking out which pages he wanted to read was one of the scenarios in the article, so even though your point is valid, Instapaper would solve that particular part of the problem.
