In the final installment of this series, I’ll discuss Evernote, and why I think it’s one of the best ways to permanently capture your research workflow. I store the articles I want to save permanently in a folder within Instapaper. You can delete the articles immediately, which I do with most of the articles I read, or you can save them. When you’re done reading, you have a couple of choices. It’s truly a joy to read articles in Instapaper. Instapaper strips out all of the advertising and extraneous clutter that makes reading articles on regular web pages distracting and difficult. Once you start reading the articles, you’ll notice how nice and readable the format is. (Amazon will charge you 15 cents each day for this.) When you come across a long read, interview, think piece, even a recipe, save it to your personal Pocket library with the Save to Pocket button in your browser or with Pocket app. If you’re a Kindle user, you can choose to have your saved articles wirelessly delivered to your e-reader each day. Dozens of iPad apps support directly adding articles into Instapaper as well. Or, you can download apps to read them on the iPhone and iPad. You can simply navigate to the Instapaper website to read them. You can read the saved articles in several different ways. This works on any web page, not just within Google Reader. The article is automatically saved to Instapaper. Now, when you see an article in Google Reader you want to read later, simply press the “Read Later” button on your browser while that article is highlighted in Google Reader. (If the Bookmarks bar isn’t showing, you’ll need to enable it in your browser.)
