Instapaper is a social bookmarking service that allows web content to be saved so it can be "read later" on a different device, such as an e-reader, smartphone, or tablet.
[3] In July 2018, ownership of Instapaper was transferred from Pinterest to a newly formed company Instant Paper, Inc.
[4][5] Instapaper started out as a simple web service in late 2007 with a "Read Later" bookmarklet and stripped-down "Text" view for articles.
When Marco Arment launched the service publicly on January 28, 2008,[6] its simplicity rapidly earned accolades from the press, including Daring Fireball[7] and TechCrunch.
[13][14] On May 23, 2018, Instapaper announced that it had suspended its services for residents of the European Union in order to address compliance with General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) requirements.
Within a web browser, a "Read Later" bookmarklet can be used to save pages to a user's personal unread queue on Instapaper.

They’ve both done great things, but I always believed that Give Me Something To Read deserved a similar level of attention that it never seemed to achieve.
