I was just wondering, actually, if Apple would make something to compete with Instapaper. The iPad is not necessarily an ideal ebook reader - it's heavier, more expensive, and harder to read in the sun than the Kindle or Nook.

Don't get me wrong; I love the iPad, and I've read a couple of books on it too. But what I really like doing is reading articles on Instapaper. The iPad seems ideal for reading and collecting Instapaper-length stories or essays. To me, it would make a lot of sense to integrate something like "Reading List" into iBooks, and market that as a feature. It may not replace Instapaper/ReadItLater for us, but I'm sure consumers who have never heard of either will love Apple's Reading List.
