Hi Anna, The instructions Brett gave work, and I have created the bookmark this way on my iPhone and iPad. However, I've always found it easier to create the Instapaper bookmark on my Mac and the sync the bookmarks, as is also suggested on the Instapaper pages as an easier method. Whenever you read instructions to drag and drop a bookmark to your browser's toolbar, use the contextual menu instead: navigate to the bookmark on that page and copy the link. Create a bookmark, and use the context menu to edit the address field of the bookmark so you paste in the java script that you copied. The same instructions work whether you use a Mac or Windows, and can be applied to any java bookmarklet, including Google translation bookmarks. The only specific recommendation for Mac users is that these be saved to your "Bookmarks Bar", so you can activate the "Read Later" bookmarking with shortcut keys like Command-1 (if it is the first bookmark in your Bookmarks Bar). Also, on an iPad I go to the main Settings menu and under Safari I turn on the switch for "Always Show Bookmarks Bar" so I can just flick to "Read Later" and double tap.
Here's a link to a recent post I wrote on the macvisionaries list with more detailed information on setting up an Instapaper Bookmark. It also links to an older Mac-access list post with step-by-step instructions. • Re: Instapaper Toolbar Bookmark http://www.mail-archive.com/macvisionaries%40googlegroups.com/msg73710.html Ironically, this information about Instapaper bookmark creation for both Safari on the Mac and various browsers on Windows was available in comments for the original AppleVis app entry when there was initially a free version of Instapaper. Then, last year in April, when they started up the "Recommend apps that you like" feature, I wrote back that I wanted to recommend Instapaper, but that they had just discontinued the free version. The response was to remove the free app description, even though all the useful comments also applied to the paid version, which many commenters said they had: www.applevis.com/applevis-forum/site-news-feedback-and-discussion/recommend-apps-you For the email bookmarking feature I just copied the individual address they gave me to my Contacts, with the name "Instapaper". You can find the address in your accounts page on the Instapaper web site. HTH.
