Instapaper Brings You Optimized Web Reading On Your Kindle Fire

(1/1)

Babyfacemagee:

If you haven't heard of Instapaper then you've probably been spending way too much time reading webpages that haven't been optimized for your reading pleasure.  Instapaper has been one of the most popular apps on the iOS platform for a while and has just been ported over to Android and the Kindle Fire.  It's a really useful program that strips away all the extra junk from a webpage and optimizes it for your tablet's screen.  What you get is distraction-free reading formatted perfectly and letting you read all your favorite websites OFFLINE when it's convenient for you.  Still not quite getting it?  Take a look at the video below and let The Verge explain what it's all about and why you'll look at reading websites the same again.

With Instapaper you can adjust fonts, text sizes, line spacing and margins just the way you like them.  There's a dark and light mode depending if you're reading at night or day...it'll even switch automatically if you program sunset times near you.  You can share your webpages via your browser or social networking sites and organize them in folders on your Kindle Fire.  You can store over 500 articles on your device for plenty of reading material when you're away from an internet connection.  You also have unlimited storage space on the Instapaper website so you can start a collection of articles you've collected and always have them to refer to.  After you start using it you'll wonder how you ever wasted so much time just reading your web pages straight off the net and save countless hours using the app.  It's only $2.99 and you can download Instapaper from the Amazon App Store at the link below.
