Wired: 5 Apps We Can’t Wait to See on the iPad
Instapaper, not iBooks or anything else, is the thing that will turn your iPad into the ultimate, personal, newspaper.
Thanks! I’ll do my best to make it worth the wait.

Best iPhone app ever? Book has one answer
O’Reilly’s Best iPhone Apps book features Instapaper, which itself is a huge honor. But today, Gregg Ellman published this syndicated article with an even bigger surprise:
In a recent email exchange, I asked Clark what his favorite app was. Choosing one is tougher than it sounds, he said.
“With over 65,000 apps to choose from, it was sweet torture boiling the book down to its 200-plus recommendations, and picking a single favorite app to sit at the top of the pile feels almost impossible,” he said.
His choice was Instapaper (free or $4.99 premium version). “Instapaper.com is a simple, free service to store Web pages for future reading,” Clark said.
“Instapaper’s iPhone app fetches those articles from your online account and holds them until you’ve got the time and attention. Even better, it strips out all the graphics, ads, and gobbledygook on the web page, giving you plain text without the distractions,” he added.
I’m honored that the book’s author, Josh Clark, holds Instapaper in such high regard.
Gregg said via email that this article will be syndicated to about 25 newspapers over the next few weeks.
Thanks, Josh and Gregg!
Macworld: Instapaper 2 for iPhone
Minor correction: The previous version of Instapaper Pro did support graphics. All versions of Free and Pro have — but Text mode is so fast to download and easy to read on the iPhone’s screen that hardly anyone uses graphical mode.
I’ve addressed the lack of Twitter sharing in 2.1, currently pending App Store review. It will require iPhone OS 3.0, but it’s well worth it.
Thanks for the great review!
