Second of two parts. See part 1: Instapaper: Manage your time smarter on the Web

Sometimes I want to read something right now, but the site I’m looking at is just too busy. Recently I wanted to read this article on overclocking my motherboard. However, the site looked like Las Vegas.
Besides Instapaper, which we discussed in part 1, I have another bookmarklet from a service called Readability.
There it is …
And as Rob Conery likes to say, pressing it “is like closing the car windows while driving on the freeway.”
I find that the simple introduction of these two tools, Instapaper for Reading Later and Readability for Reading Now, not only allows me to consume and collect MORE information than before, but I’m slightly less stressed out while I’m doing it.
Goodbye 43 tabs.

I use Instapaper on a regular basis but had no idea about Readability! This is something that i'm definitely going to be trying. I can't tell you how many times I have been so stressed out by awful design, blinking lights and ridiculous graphics.
I agree. I'm training myself to use it on a daily basis. (jd)
I love these lists but they are so long where do i start?
..at the top i guess!
Just thought I’d drop you a line to tell you your site really rocks! I have been looking for this sort of information for a long time.. Hey, I just hopped over to your site via StumbleUpon. Not somthing I would usually browse, but I appreciated your views none the less. Thanks for creating something worthy of reading. ;) awesome more please.
