Instapaper

I'm not sure if this is a widely known website or not but I figured I'd post about it anyway.

I have been a reader for years and yes that does include books but I also read a lot of fanfiction and I am very active in several fandoms. I find my 'real' reading generally gets pushed aside sometimes for the brilliant works of fiction within fandoms. Don't knock it though, some seriously brilliant writers have started with fanfiction and then moved to original fiction.

Anyway point is I was doing some research into newspaper subscriptions for the family members with Kindles and happened to come across this site.

It is brilliant! All you need to do is put in your email address for your Kindle and then bookmark the link and then if you find an article, or any other piece of writing like a fic, then you can hit the 'Read Later' bookmark and then it sends to your Kindle like an issue of a newspaper.

I thought it might be useful to anyone studying (like me) who reads a lot of journal entries or articles or anyone who likes to read the news on the go.

I've tried it with a few sites and they are nearly all been 100% successful with the exception of one who had weird formatting but still was very readable.

(of course it can also be used for other things like the iPad)

PS: I have no idea where this goes so I just stuck it in here.

Here is a great place for it, Elle. Thanks.

I was a bit boggled by all that so I'll have to come back to it when I have more time to explore it fully though.

I am sure my explanation does not help at all. It's pretty much a way to send any type of text on the web to your Kindle for offline reading xD!
