Read Later apps for e-ink Kindles

In My Humble Opinion
1

I have an Android tablet (2nd Gen Nexus 7, FWIW.) 90% of the time, I use it for one of three things:

[ol]
[li]Reading Kindle books[/li][li]Randomly falling down some Wiki-hole[/li][li]Reading articles that I’ve saved earlier in Instapaper[/li][/ol]

In the interests of battery life, a superior reading experience, and keeping bright-ass LCD screens out of the bedroom before I try to go to sleep, I’m considering buying a Paperwhite 3G for myself.

I know my first two use cases are covered, but how do the e-ink Kindles stack up in the third? I’ve done a bit of digging and it seems like Instapaper supports send-to-Kindle functionality, but that seems a bit kludgy.

Is there a better approach than Instapaper? I don’t need fancy multimedia features and shit. Just the ability to save via a bookmarklet or extension in Firefox and Chrome; reasonably readable text that’s been stripped of site specific content (and ads!), read/unread status synchronization, and the ability to read my articles on my Android phone in the event I don’t have my Kindle on me.

Any ideas?

Kindles have a couple different methods.

  1. Install the Send to Kindle extension for Firefox or Chrome. I use this everyday. It’s basically like Instapaper. You’re reading an article, you think, “I should save this and read it later”, so you click the button the toolbar. It gets formatted for reading and mailed to the Kindle of your choice. You can even set it up to send to multiple Kindles, if say, you want it on your phone and on your reader. The text gets saved in your space on Amazon’s document’s folder. You can store it there indefinitely or until you run out of space (every Kindle gets 5gb free. Articles added via this method usual run only about 50kb).

  2. Then there’s Send to Kindle for your PC or Mac. This is a little app that installs and lets you send txt or pdf files to your Kindle from your computer. It adds a line in the context menu (rightclick, on PC), you just rightclick on the file, choose Send to Kindle, and off it goes.

  3. You can also email items to your Kindle. Every Kindle has its own email address which you can view or adjust on your Amazon devices page. Just send an email with the file as an attachment. IIRC, the title of the email becomes the title of the file on your reader. These also end up in your Amazon folder. You can see that under your account settings.

It sounds like the browser is extension is what you’re after. Everything’s described on this page, which they’ve conveniently just created:
