Instapaper Pro or Instapaper Free?

Here are my reasons for buying Instapaper Pro:

1. Pagination and Tilt scrolling

   • This is a killer feature that I wish was a system default. Apple should swoop up the idea (after compensating the creator of course)

2. Article capacity on device

   • I like to star items, organize them in folders, and re-read different lengthy articles. Having access to only 10 items, in the free version, is not enough.

3. Folders

   • I have a folder for “Education”, “General News”, “Technology”, and “Misc.” If I think that I will share an article at a later time I either “star” it or place it into one of the folders listed above. Most articles are “archived” once I finish reading them.

4. Remembers your position

   • This is excellent for when I am reading lengthy articles. I can hop between different pieces and consistently return to where I was last reading.

5. In-app, offline dictionary

   • This little nugget of goodness is quite useful for looking up the meaning of a word while reading. There is no need to exit out and use another application.

6. Dark-background mode

   • I happen to like dark backgrounds. I wish Reeder and Tweetie had options for the same thing.

Here is an overview video that shows off the features listed above…
