The button only appears when you move the cursor, so you can&rsquo;t just keep clicking in the same place like with the old design. This is a problem because the &ldquo;Archive All&rdquo; link in the Kindle edition has been intermittently broken for me for a few months. Instapaper doesn&rsquo;t keep track of what it&rsquo;s already sent to the Kindle, so I have to manually clean it out after each mailing.<\/p>\n<p>Update (2013-09-14): I continue to have problems with the &ldquo;Archive All&rdquo; link not working, saying that the link is invalid. However, it is now possible to double-click on the Web site to successively archive individual articles.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Grant Custer: When I got the opportunity to redesign the Instapaper website my goal was to do justice to the service Instapaper provides.
