Instapaper 9.1 and Send to Kindle Extension
On Instapaper iOS and macOS, you can now sign in to websites directly within the app. When you’re logged into sites, Instapaper can more reliably retrieve and display complete articles.
Increasingly, we’re seeing more “hard paywalls” across the Internet, where publishers are preventing third parties from accessing content. Sometimes, this results in Instapaper only receiving part of an article and, other times, Instapaper is completely blocked from accessing any information including basic metadata (i.e. title, author, image thumbnail, etc.).
I don’t really like the idea of logging into sites from within the app, but incomplete imports are a real problem and hopefully this will help. What I’ve been doing lately—for sites that don’t save to Instapaper properly or where I want to read the comments that Instapaper would normally strip out—is use the Send to Kindle browser extension. The downside is that it’s only available for Chrome, but it works really well.
