5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Kindle Fire app, November 15, 2011

Accessing my Instapaper feed is one of the main reasons I bought a Fire. This app does not disappoint, with the exception of $6.99 being a little steep.

I wish Mr. Instapaper wasn't so anti-Kindle Fire. Google his harsh review. This app is sorely lacking in comparison to the one he developed for iphone. and expensive. I wish he'd cave and make an app for Fire users-- not everyone wants/needs an ipad! -- but everyone loves Instapaper!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very happy. It does what I want, January 30, 2012

I was concerned about purchasing this app as it has a couple of really bad reviews as well as some good ones. However, I am glad to be able to report that it is truly excellent and I have no concerns over its abilities. It seems to do everything I want from an Instapaper app, even though it is independently produced. I want to address the concerns I saw in other reviews to assure potential buyers that the issues raised do not exist.

1. Page turning

While it is true that the last line of pages is hidden at the bottom of the screen on the Kindle Fire the app can be configured to scroll up and down as a single page instead of using the page turning metaphor, removing any problems hidden text.

2. Font size

Not only is the font size controllable there is a choice between serif and sans-serif fonts.

3. Image display

The app lets users choose whether to download and display images in articles, which is useful for any articles with charts or maps in them.

4. Sync control

The app can be configured to download and sync all your articles or just those in particular folders.

5. Kindle Fire compatibility

I have not found any feature which does not work on the Kindle Fire. As far as I can tell, this app is completely compatible and it certainly meets all the needs I have from an Instapaper app.
