#22I absolutely LOOVE instapaper, one of my absolute favorite iPad apps (the rest are here http://bit.ly/hb8l5H)!
..agree with everyone that its a true "killer" app for the device. Imagine once Marco and the team starts adding true collaborative filtering based on your past history (and your friends and the broader community of IP users) and suggesting you stuff to read!
Re: Instapaper 3.0 is here
#23I love the idea behind Instapaper and bought the $5 version, but I have found it has a surprising number of bugs for a paid app. The application has crashed several times on me. Sometimes articles don't download properly. Also, often large swatches of text are repeated in the articles I add to my Instapaper. Finally, when I archive items out of the Editor's Picks, they often re-download again later (maybe I am not understanding how archiving works).
Has anyone else run into sorts of issues using Instapaper on the iPhone 4? I hope that 3.0 fixes these issues! Off to download it now. :-)

#24Instapaper and Reeder are, for me, the 'killer' iPhone apps. When people ask me why I like/choose the iPhone , I point at those 2 apps.
They look nice. I feel the same way about Feedr & BeyondPod on Android and EverPaper is pretty nice as well.

#25I use Instapaper all the time to save things to read...but have an Android phone. When is the Android version coming?
While you're waiting, try EverPaper.

#26Earlier quoted context omitted.
iPaper[1] is a great instapaper client for Android. Yeah, Instapaper is more like a service than an iPhone app. [1] https://market.android.com/details?id=org.hijava.instapaper
The icon is a direct copy of the iOS app icon, and the app is in violation of Marco's API rules ( http://blog.instapaper.com/post/3208433429 ). Outright theft? Maybe not. But definitely not kosher. [ Also, the 'developer website' is an inaccessible Chinese social network page. Awesome! ]
Interesting...
Which Api Rules does it violate btw?
Re: Instapaper 3.0 is here
#27Big fan talking here, it's how I primarily read long form content (iphone and kindle)
This sentence worried me though:
>With these great new additions, many customers won’t even >need the bookmarklet anymore.
Without the bookmarklet Instapaper stops being useful to me - I have no interest in another source of information, however 'social' or curated that may be.
I feel that instapaper is trying to move into the 'sharing cool stuff' space, which is already over saturated, instead of concentrating on it's original stronghold of providing a great consumption experience.

#28Marco Arment, the founder of Instapaper, was also the former lead developer of Tumblr. It's clear that he has great a sense for UI design.

Same here - I just wish that Instapaper would share on Google Reader. One wonders why the "drink from the firehose" style reader (Reeder) hasn't been merged with the "save for later" style reader (Instapaper). Everyone I know who finds one of those indispensable becomes enamored with the other pretty easily.
I'm glad for the new Pinboard integration.
My regular flow is to have everything (RSS for blogs with long posts and RSS for simple alert/notification blogs) in Google Reader and filter through it there, only viewing everything once. Anything longer than a paragraph in there goes to Instapaper, to really read later.
I sent random links and website I want to save to Instapaper as well and was moving them to Pinboard manually on the website, but this will definitely save me time.
