+1 to this, I spent ages looking around the app trying to find a settings icon, with no luck. I think an Instapaper login would work much better in the More section of the app, than in the global settings app (especially if there's nothing

If Amazon were serious about leaving, they would have left by now, to try and force Apple to not make the change on June 30. Once June 30 goes past, Apple isn't going to reverse their policy again; if Amazon is there on the 30th, they're no
