I'm not a lawyer, but unless the publisher agree, you're probably not fine. IIRC, Instapaper and readability run on the client. They don't reproduce the complete article on the server.

I think I am a dead man now.
I'll try to understand the legal issue.
I will also try to find some journalists and start learning how to respect their job.
Thanks for reminding me.

Thanks. I'll take a look. Would you please tell me what web browser are you using? eg. Chrome, IE, or firefox ?
