Thanks for mentioning Instapaper as your tech tip this week. I try to recommend the service to all people, Kindlers or not. When Marco (the developer of Instapaper) first updated the Kindle feature with a downloadable version to complement the email version, I thought the improvements were impressive. The improvements in graphics and photos added to text were good enough, but I actually emailed him asking for the article chapter marks as well. He responded back immediately, remarking that he was trying to get those added, and lo and behold, here we are. It’s just my favorite way to save and read long articles that I find from my RSS feeds, I feel like I’m creating a personalized news magazine.
I did also purchase his iPhone Pro app as well, just to help support him and the development of the product. It’s got some amazing features as well.
Thanks, and keep up the amazing work!

I’ve posted a fairly thorough tutorial on using Instapaper with your Kindle:

I have a kindle 2 that I just received from them 2 weeks ago I would be willing to sell. It was a replacement for one in warranty.
Just email me if want it because I could use either one.

I am very disappointed with Amazon’s lack of support for Kindle owners who live out of the ATT coverage areas. I want to order a new Kindle global, only to find that I do not have coverage for it. I tried to order a Kindle 2, US, refurbished, only to find that Amazon, didn’t have any more. I feel that Amazon should make an effort to use all 3G coverage and not exclusively ATT, so that all customers can be covered.

Really interesting interview and I love that there is now the podcast to discuss all the e-readers.

That WORD macro for the Kindle’s My Clippings file is definiitely useful.
I wish a Mac version were available.

For those unfamiliar with the Kindle file system and the ‘My Clippings’ file’s place in it, including how highlighting and notes are recorded (in three places), I have an added blog entry which is expanded from a Q&A in the comments area.

That’s at http://bit.ly/kclippings
