Hello Ester, Those were very clear and concise instructions. Thanks! I have successfully added the Instapaper bookmarklet. I found a useful extension called Instafari. It adds a read later icon to your toolbar, and also allows you to set a keyboard shortcut in my case command+option+R, which allows me to send any webpage to Instapaper for reading. Once again, thanks, Nemanja On Dec 2, 2012, at 2:02 PM, Esther <[email protected]> wrote:
