Instapaper with my first iPad was the best thing ever the year it came out. It was just so convenient (and still is, we just got used to it). When people asked me why I got an iPad, an odd device for its time, I said: e-mail and Instapaper.

Back then, people were not accustomed to build tablet-friendly websites and even though Safari was very good, Instapaper was in league of its own when it came to plain old reading, especially when offline.
