Now in public beta:



ePub downloads: Download any folder’s 20 most recent articles as an .epub file that’s readable on many popular e-reader devices, including most Sony Readers and (probably) the upcoming B&N Nook.

Kindle downloads: Download any folder’s 20 most recent articles as a Kindle-compatible .mobi file.
The Printable view can now be used in any folder.

A few brief notes:


The ePub and Kindle features will be a bit slow for now. Give them a minute to download. I’m working on speed improvements over time.
The Instapaper.com site doesn’t work properly from the Kindle’s browser yet. These files are intended to be transferred via USB. The upside: It’s free, fast, and compatible with non-U.S. Kindles.
I’m unable to personally test on a huge variety of ePub-compatible devices. Please let me know if it doesn’t work well on yours.
Not every Sony Reader can read ePub files. On some models, you need to install the most recent software updates from Sony first.
The Kindle and ePub features use the new text parser regardless of your selected parser. A huge upside to this is that they’ll include many images that are contained within article content.

Enjoy! And let me know if anything’s broken.
