How to Instapaper an entire multi-page article in just two clicks

Saving a multi-page article to Instapaper can be a pain. Caching each page individually takes several clicks, and some sites don't offer a single-page view of their articles. If you're using Safari 5, you can get around this problem with Safari Reader. When you activate Safari Reader, you'll get a highly readable text-only view that usually includes the entire article, all on one page.

If you scroll all the way to the bottom of the Safari Reader version of your article, and then use your favorite bookmarklet or extension to send it to Instapaper, you'll save the whole thing. It's a brilliant way to avoid clicking save five times in one short article.

We tested this trick with Readability, the bookmarklet upon which Safari Reader was based, and it works the same way. If you're not using Safari, you can grab the Readability bookmarklet (or the Chrome extension) and take advantage of the same Instapaper trick. Take note, though, you'll have to save to Instapaper using Instapaper's own "Read Later" bookmarklet. The trick doesn't work with Instachrome (the Instapaper Chrome extension).
