When you are searching with a specific purpose and find some content that is compelling frequently you get pulled off your main task. Where Instapaper really works well is during the distracting moments in web surfing. The idea here is if there is something worth reviewing I can send it to Instapaper which then becomes my ‘to do’ list of web content.
