5.0 out of 5 stars Now on all my devices...fantastic! June 6, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase
I'm finally catching up on all those past saved articles sitting on my iPhone. Couldn't believe my ears when I heard about it's existence for android on 5by5. The complete control over the text from fonts to line spacing just makes reading so much easier. Looks beautiful on the Kindle Fire. Love the Meta. Great job!

3.0 out of 5 stars Just OK. Not better than Pocket. June 18, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase
I'm a long time Pocket (Read It Later) user and gave this a try based on the hope that it would have better server side parsing of articles. I've been using it for a couple of weeks and it does grab articles better, and that's a very good thing. The other good thing is that it generally looks pretty good, especially on Kindle.

My criticisms are: 1) it strays a bit too far from Android norms. They don't have to use Android widgets, but custom UI like swiping for options instead of long-hold flies in the faces of how Android is used. 2) night mode is a mess. It mixes brightness with day mode, flashes bright white a lot, makes links unreadable as dark-blue on black. 3) Support is absent as far as I can tell. I've written them and haven't received so much as an auto-response.

I'm glad Marco is venturing into Android, but as Instapaper for Android stands now I'd still recommend Pocket.

Instapaper is a read-it-later person's dream! So easy! One click of a button either in my Kindle Fire apps or web or on my desktop browser and the article I want to read later is instantly prepped and saved to later reading either on my desktop or Kindle app. Then, a quick sync of the Instapaper app on my Kindle and the article are now downloaded on my Kindle for reading at my leisure. I couldn't ask for an easier way do this. I can also organize my articles, mark favorites, archive articles all very simply either through the app or on the web. It's well worth the price, in my opinion. I'm glad I took the chance to buy this app.

My husband now also uses Instapaper on his laptop and Kindle Fire as well. We are both please with this app and the simplicity of how it works.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great to have Instapaper on Kindle Fire June 15, 2012
Been an Instapaper user for years on iPhone and iPad. Don't use my Kindle Fire a ton but $3 is definitely worth having a proper and official Instapaper app for it. Looks and works great.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy reading December 5, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase
The software allows users to rip text off of any web article and resize and format it into a readable format. Bottom line reading in a font and size thats comfortable with no viagra ads..

The software setup on kindle fire requires you to create a bookmark and sign up for an account. To mark an article bookmark the page and it will automatically show up in the app. The kindle app also allow column views of article text. Very nice if like magazine or newsprint style layout.

One final benefit is the formatted article can be shared with colleagues. To share click the arrow button at bottom of article this will bring you to a dialogue box which with a button click allows users to share a link to article. Research can be shared with individuals or a group depending on your mail setup.

Great product for anyone who has to read a number of articles on the internet and is tired of scrolling around the page to try to read entire article.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential December 2, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase
Instapaper is the essential app for any tablet or phone. It is also a really well done app- you can tell the developer put a lot of thought into it. Be sure to visit Instapaper.com to get the "extras" for you desktop browser that really make Instapaper something special. Worth 10 times what they charge for it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Instapaper App for Kindle Fire May 28, 2013
Amazon Verified Purchase
NO MORE SQUINTING OR PINCHING TO READ WEB PAGES!!! This app is fantastic if you like to read web pages or newspaper or magazine articles. It reformats the articles to seamless, easy to read single documents without any of the ads or sidebars that you see on a normal web page, and even better, you can manipulate the page (after it is in Instapaper form) just like you can with kindle books. That is, you can change font, type size, background page color, etc. However, I should point out that the download instructions are incorrect on the very last step, where it tells you to drag the widget to your bookmarks toolbar. (I think that is an instruction for a PC.) The wonderful folks at the kindle forum helped me overcome this and explain how to use the Instapaper App without the widget. Otherwise, I had absolutely no problems. You can archive articles if you want, or just delete them after reading by tapping the trash can at the top of your screen. It is pure genius! You will love this app!!! Definitely worth the 2.99--and I used my Amazon coins to pay for it. Get it today. You won't be sorry!!!!!
