Instapaper is fantastic.

• The "Read Later" bookmarklet is handy and even works inside Google Reader. (You're using http://fulltextrssfeed.com/ for your feeds, right?)

• The Instapaper iOS client is amazong on iPad. Reading is nice and, if you share via email or EverNote, it queues up email if you're offline.

• ReadNow is a $5 client for Mac which looks as nice as the iOS client and has the same feature set and lots of keyboard shortcuts. The only cons are that images aren't saved for offline reading and sending links sometimes fails silently.

• EverPaper (~$5 or so) is a decent client for Android.

Instapaper[1] is fantastic, and I love it, and it is likely to be the popular recommendation.

That said, I also like the "Send to Kindle" chrome plugin for reading things on my Kindle.

If you have an iPad, the latest Instapaper app is just about the best read later experience I could think of. The only thing about Instapaper I don't 100% like is that it can't consolidate multi-page articles automatically. So, for long-form articles that don't have a print or single-page view, I keep the Readability "Read Now" bookmarklet. It combines everything to one page, and then when I hit the Instapaper Read Later bookmarklet, the consolidated view is saved to my Instapaper library. Voila!
