Below are some of the most frequently asked questions about Instapaper. You can also email [email protected] & tweet at @InstapaperHelp with ideas, feedback, and questions not covered here. We always love to hear from you.
![]() What does Instapaper do?
Instapaper turns web content â articles, stories, posts, videos, and even long emails â into a great reading experience.
Over the course of your day, you'll encounter things you want to save for later. With Instapaper, you simply push a button in your browser, or choose âsend to Instapaperâ in a linked mobile app. Instapaper then saves it for you, and makes it available in a beautiful, uncluttered, reading-optimized format on your mobile phone, your tablet, your Kindle, or your browser.
I can't get something to work, what should I try first?
Will you add [some cool feature]?
Quite possibly! Please let us know what you'd like. We read every idea or suggestion. We make changes to Instapaper very carefully, but we aim to be constantly improving.
Are there storage limits?
There's no limit to how many articles you can store, and your archive of read items is kept indefinitely (unless you delete from it).
Instapaper WindowsDoes Instapaper make money?
Yes. We are a small team and our goal is to build a long-term sustainable product and business, without venture capital. In order to do so, it's essential that the product generates enough revenue to cover its cost. If you'd like to support Instapaper, the best way to do so is to purchase Instapaper Premium.
Instapaper Premium users receive:
I'm trying to create an account but it says my email is already taken.
Usually this is because you created another account with your email address sometime in the misty, distant past. Try logging in with the credentials you might have previously used.
If you want to get rid of the old account, you can rename or delete the old one from Settings when you're logged into it.
My device is telling me my password is incorrect but I can login with those credentials on web.
If you can login on web, chances are it's your device time that's incorrect. Please go to your device's date/time settings and make sure they're accurate. Setting your time to be set automatically is always the safe bet in this case.
How do I install the Instapaper bookmarklet on mobile Safari?
With the introduction of the system share sheet in iOS 8, mobile bookmarklets are no longer required. To save on mobile Safari, and any other compatible apps/browsers, please add Instapaper to the system share sheet. This can be done by opening the share sheet (box with arrow icon), scrolling all the way to the right of the top row, choosing 'More,' and enabling Instapaper. Instapaper will then be an option on the share sheet.
I save pages, but they don't appear in the app.
Please ensure that you're using the same account name on both the web browser (where you're saving articles) and the iPhone app (where you're reading them). Your account name is displayed:
Why do I have to sign in every time I click the Instapaper bookmarklet?
First and foremost, please make sure you're not in Private/Incognito browsing mode.
If browsing mode is not private, please enable third-party cookies for: www.instapaper.com
If the issue persists, please reinstall your bookmarklet/extension from www.instapaper.com/save
When I click the Instapaper bookmarklet, nothing happens, or it hangs after '(Saving...)'. (Most commonly occurs with Firefox.)
Please make sure that you do not have any add-ons or settings that would interfere with Javascript's operation. This includes the Firefox NoScript add-on and some types of ad-blocking software.
Why can't it save pages from [some site]?
There are many reasons why certain pages aren't accessible offline or in Text view. The most common:
Instapaper Mac App
We're always working to improve page compatibility, but the web is vast, complex, and always changing â so we can never guarantee perfect or complete compatibility with every site.
We encourage you to submit sites you're having saving issues with to Support so we can look into the saving behavior for you.
Are PDF files supported?
Instapaper currently does not support PDF files.
Amazonâs fees for 3G delivery
Instapaper uses Amazon's Kindle Personal Documents Service to deliver its documents to your Kindle.
Kindles with Wi-Fi only (no 3G) receive Instapaper's documents for free whenever they're connected to a Wi-Fi network.
For Kindles with 3G, such as the Kindle 1, Kindle 2, Kindle DX, Kindle 3 3G, Kindle Keyboard 3G, and Kindle Touch 3G, Amazon charges small fees for delivery over 3G when the Kindle is not connected to a Wi-Fi network.See this Amazon document for details.To avoid fees with 3G Kindles, use the @free.kindle.com option.
Instapaper assumes no responsibility for charges incurred by your use of this feature.
The news sites and blogs are always refreshing information every hour. If you aren't using RSS feeds to consume that content, you're certainly in for a treat to save your time and data to consume all kinds of content from a single app. Of course, the dedicated apps from media organizations are nice, but what if you're only interested in Markets, Business, Sports, or a combination of a few topics?
So instead of opening several tabs or keeping handful of news apps, RSS feeds from multiple sources allow you to enjoy content in a single app.
The RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feeds mostly fetch the title, photo, and some text (at times full article) and lets you read them without distractions. So you can follow the latest updates of your favorite blogs and websites all in one place instead of having to visit multiple sites on your Mac.
Here's a compilation of the best 5 RSS news reader apps that we found extremely useful.
Note: We've used these apps on macOS 11 Big Sur public beta and they worked without any issues. The screenshots were captured with macOS in dark mode.

NetNewsWire is a free, open-source RSS feed reader app, and I bet you'd heard of it when trying to look for a dedicated RSS feeds app. The app's recent version deliversa fast and reliable RSS news reading experience. The RSS feedsenthusiasts can link their Feedbin account, which comes with a paidsubscription.
And the Feedly users can keep their read items synced across devices as well. It does come with a handful of sources, and you can always import the OPML file from elsewhere.
Its two-column, single pane interface will remind you of apps like MS Outlook. So will most apps on this list. Using a lot of keyboard shortcuts with the spiffy experience is fun. So is tinkering with a bevy of customizations and power-packed search. The only place this app falls shorts is the capability to share a few things. So if you seek an open-source app that you'll customize later as per your convenience, then NetNewsWire checks most of the right boxes.

2. Reeder 5
Freshly updated Reeder 5 carries one of the most polished interfaces of all the available RSS readers. The iPhone users will love the new iCloud sync feature to use it with their Macs. Note: The screenshot is of Reeder 4 and it was taken before Reeder 5 was released.
Previously, the major updates took a while, and you should bethankful that they did. The developers proactively roll out app updatesimmediately after the new iOS version drops.
Read Later and Mark As Read on scroll will be extremely convenientfor the prolific readers who prefer RSS feeds to consume news. And itonly gets better with a bouquet of support for third-party services likeFeedbin, Feedly, FeedHQ, NewsBlur, Instapaper, Pocket, and others. Ofcourse, you can always import the OPML file from other services. If youlove polished interface and animations, then you'll have to buy Reeder 5from the Mac Store for $9.99

ReadKit serves as a perfect no-nonsense newsreader app with supportfor several Read it later services like Instapaper, Readability, andPocket. Either of these services can really help you organize thelong-form or other content that you wish to read later at peace.Alternatively, you can star them as well.
The Smart Folder option lets you manage and organize your feed subscriptions into meaningful subjects and categories. For instance, I've sorted mine into Android, Apple, Gaming, and so on. Wondering how to add your feeds collection? Well, ReadKit supports a host of RSS feeds subscription services like Feedly, Feedbin, NewsBlur, Feed Wrangler, and even Fever.
Okay, I saved the best for the last - Focus mode and Search (self-explanatory). The Focus mode hides all the columns with folders and turns the window into a full screen to read the article. ReadKit is available for $9.99 from the Mac App Store.

4. News Explorer
One of the strong points of the News Explorer app is that it supports synching content from RSS, Atom, JSON, and even Twitter feeds. On top of that, it also supports Podcast RSS feeds so that you don't miss out on your favorite podcast episodes.
That's why News Explorer is my go-to RSS readers to catch up onPodcasts while I read and scroll through several feeds from differentsources. While it offers most features for customizing views andmanaging sources, there's one more reason to prefer News Explorer.
Instapaper Chrome Extension
The app costs $9.99 if you want to purchase it from the Mac AppStore. However, if you buy SetApp's monthly subscription for the sameamount, you get News Explorer and several other paid apps for free - allincluded in the subscription amount. I think that's a pretty good dealif you just want to try out several paid apps for a month and thencontinue the subscription if you wish. So this app suits the best forthe folks looking for that value-for-money quotient with paid Mac apps.

The Feedly app looks like a browser-wrapped version of its online appbut for Macs. So why is it on this list? Well, if the above four appscouldn't convince you, then Feedly is the best option to start.
It offers several popular RSS sources categorized by subjects - Technology, Startup, Business, Sports, Health, and more. So you pick the category that interests you and then select the sources that offer RSS feeds.
While the free version should work for most users, the Feedly Pro for $6 per month bundles more feed sources, lets you share over social networks, copy content to note-taking apps, and more. The Pro+ plan cost $8.25 per month includes Leo, an AI-powered digital assistant, the tweaks and prunes your collection to remove duplicates, classifies updates by topics, adds mute filters, summarizes, and more.

To Read or Not
After Google Reader shut down, I moved the OPML file of the RSS feeds to Feedly, which really helped to subscribe to many similar sources and get rid of infrequent or overlapping ones. As a recovering RSS reading fan, I now prefer the ones with Read It Later services baked inside.
Most other apps on this list support a Feedly account. So transferring your curated lists and sections from Feedly to another app will be quite a breeze. Meanwhile, I shoutout to Netscape for gifting the world RSS to manage the information overload. So which RSS news feed readers do you use on your Mac, iPhone, Android, or Windows PC?
