Hi Jane, Try the following to save your "Read Later" bookmark for Instapaper to Safari on the Mac:
1. Start from the Instapaper extras page: http://www.instapaper.com/extras that has the Read Later bookmarklet, and bookmark the page with the Command-D shortcut to add a bookmark. 2. In the dialog window, type in "Read Later" for the name of the Bookmark, and set the pop up menu for the bookmark location to be the "Bookmarks Bar" (VO-Space on the pop-up and then start typing "b o"). Placing your newly created bookmarklet in the Bookmarks bar will allow you to activate the bookmark or bookmarklet with the keyboard shortcut Command-1, using the special property of the Bookmarks Bar that the first nine bookmarks can be accessed with shrotcuts Command-1, Command-2, etc. 3. Navigate to the link for the "Read Later" bookmarklet on the Instapaper extras page and use the context menu (VO-Shift-M) to select "copy link" in the section where you are directed to "drag this to your Bookmarks Bar" 4. Press Command-Option-B to go to your "Show all Bookmarks" page in Safari. 5. Interact with the scroll area, then tab to the Bookmarks collection table, interact, and select/highlight "Bookmarks Bar" 6. Navigate to the "Read Later" bookmarklet in the second table that lists bookmarks in your selected collection (e.g, you can use item chooser menu, or you can stop interacting with the collections table and tab to the table listing its bookmarks, then move to the entry you want). 7. Use the context menu (VO-Shift-M) to "Edit Address", and paste in your copied javascript 8. Leave the Safari "Show all bookmarks" page by pressing Command- Option-b again You should be all set in Safari. On the Mac, I usually keep my Safari bookmarks bar, toolbar, etc. hidden, and just press Command-1 to apply the "Read Later" bookmarklet. If you sync your Bookmarks to the iPad, the bookmarklet you created will also be available for Safari on your iPad. However, on the iPad, I have my bookmarks bar set to be shown in Settings > Safari. The switch for "Always Show Bookmarks Bar" is set to "On" there, so I can just touch or flick to the bookmarklet and double tap it to mark any page displayed in Safari on the iPad for "read later". It's also possible to set up your "Read Later" bookmarklet separately on the iPad, if you visit the Instapaper extras page URL given in step 1 on your iPad, then double tap on the link that you copied in step 3 (on your Mac). On the iPad, when you double tap on that link, you're taken to a page of instructions on how to copy the javascript to a bookmark in Safari on your iPad. The instructions are accessible, and work with VoiceOver, but the process is more complicated, so it's easier to do this by creating the bookmark in Safari on the Mac and pasting the java script into the address field, then syncing the bookmark with your iPad. On the other hand, if you want to reorder any of your Safari bookmarks, it's much easier to do on the iPad, where you can drag and drop them as you like, and VoiceOver will announce the bookmarks you're passing as you move your selection up or down a list. For more details on moving and deleting bookmarks in Safari on the Mac (including a description of the process on the iPad), see the archived post: http://www.mail-archive.com/macvisionaries%40googlegroups.com/msg21962.html HTH.
