What is Instapaper?

Instapaper is a Chrome extension that offers a simple and efficient method of saving web pages for later reading. Regardless of whether you want to read on your iPhone, iPad, Android, computer, or Kindle, Instapaper makes it possible. By saving the current tab on your device to your Instapaper account, this extension eliminates the need for a bookmarklet. Unauthenticated users are directed to a login or signup page, after which they are redirected back to the original page, now saved in their Instapaper queue.
