Yes, I use that and also have Instapaper/Readability regularly mail me articles. It's helpful but these are still hacks.
1) It's horribly painful to organize the articles, especially when spanning multiple pages
2) I have to know about the article ahead of time to send to the kindle, rather than discover on the device itself
3) I can't "Mark as Read" on the device itself right after reading
4) For Instapaper/Readability, only the latest ~20 articles are shown. Also, the API Amazon provided used to frequently break. |

It's actually amusing that since back then I've used ipod touch, android phone, android tablet, and now the kindle, for specifically reading articles from the web.
When I was in college I was actually printing web articles in batch during weekends, I just paste the plain text to MS word arranged in 3 columns in uniform font so it looks like a newspaper. Those were fun times since everything was so new to me :) that's way before all the instapaper/pocket came out.
