Full summary

Instapaper is a simple tool for saving web pages to read later on your iPhone, iPad, Android, computer, or Kindle.

This browser extension may be used in place of the bookmarklet to save articles directly into your Instapaper queue.

It works by saving the current tab to your Instapaper account . Users who aren't logged in will be taken to a login or signup page, after completing the process they will be redirected back to the original page with the original page saved in their queue.

Replaces the "Instapaper Text" bookmarklet with an icon in the Chrome toolbar, PLUS:

• Right click links to open them faster in Instapaper Text without loading the original page first. • Assign a keyboard shortcut, and hide the toolbar icon if desired.

Important Notes • "Instapaper Text" does not add pages to your Instapaper account automatically, it only opens them in a clean, easy to read format. • Once loaded, you can "Save to Instapaper", go to your account, and adjust text formatting options.
• Not all websites are Instapaper Text compatible.

Ver 2.2: Updated to handle new facebook link format on right click.
