In a previous post I wrote about my own trick for making it easier to read text on the web.  I’ve been using that “print-page” trick for a long time, and I wish someone had built the firefox plugin to fix it.

In the meantime, Marco Arment (lead develper at tumblr), may have come up with a better solution, Instapaper.  This elegant wep app creates a instant news paper of the articles you “saved for later” using the bookmarklet.  Its not a big app, but by forcing me to read things later I waste less time reading useless articles, and I have it in a clean format  thats also accessible from my phone.

Yes, he has an iphone app, which you can pay for if you become hooked like I have!  Great to see this project has a revenue stream!  (Though I’d love to see a blackberry app)
