I was a long-time resistor of Instapaper because I had my "to_read" tag in del.icio.us. But I would only very rarely return to that tag and go through items I had bookmarked. Plus I'd feel the need to come up with tags for an article I hadn't even read yet, based on what I thought it was about.
I finally started using Instapaper with my iPhone, and can't say how many times I've been stuck somewhere for a few minutes that let me read a longer-form article when I'd have been distracted by 5 other open browser tabs were I on my laptop.
Being able to click the Instapaper bookmarklet and not have to think about anything — not even be taken away from the page — has removed all friction from the process. I love it. I didn't even realize you could get a digest sent to your Kindle. I'm going to have to go set that up right now.
