A few months ago, Pinterest, the famous image social network, bought Instapaper and all its content. And it hasn't been long since parent company has made changes to Instapaper. And good changes for users.
Hereinafter, Instapaper Premium users will stop paying their fee Since all Instapaper Premium functions become free and available in its freemium version, available to all users of Instapaper services.
This has surprised many as the Instapaper application will stop having advertising, it will no longer have a subscription fee and services like sending to the Kindle or saving notes or articles will be available without paying for it. With which we can say that Instapaper is at the same level as Pocket, something that will be interesting to attract users, but and the money?
Instapaper Premium will cease to exist although its functions will be in normal Instapaper
The financing method is unknown, but there is more. The current owners have decided to return the last installments of the premium service and from now on they will stop charging for it, something that also positively draws attention.
In any case it seems that now Instapaper service has become a useful tool for Kindle readers and its users where you can select the news and web pages that you read and send them to the eReader (or tablet) directly, just as users of Kobo eReaders currently do with the Pocket service. I personally like it, I use the Kobo + Pocket version, it is a useful tool and it seems that Kindle and Instapaper will be the same now that their features are free, But How long will this situation last, what do you think? What do you think of the news?
