Instapaper vs. Readability vs. ReadItLater ???

[YaBoiD]

I'm trying to decide on which to use. Any input appreciated.
Which is the better out of the 3 and why? TIA

I've been trying out Readability for a day and like the text it uses.

The apps themselves go head to head. What makes me use RIL is the integration with other services. I have Chrome extensions that will send RSS items there in just a click and you see more and more websites integrating with RIL lately

Readability

I'm trying Readability now since its free and so far so good. Im not sure how the others are. I know Readitnow has a free version so I might try that out.

Is there anyway to send articles to any of these readers through the iOS safari on the iPad?

i can't speak for readability or readitlater, but instapaper definitely has a bookmarklet that you can install on mobile safari that will send the articles to your instapaper account. i also love how other apps like rss readers and twitter clients add the ability to save articles to instapaper without needing to see the articles in safari.

Definitely InstaPaper. A great app from a great developer.

One other trick you can use to get a document from Safari on iOS to InstaPaper is to copy the URL while in Safari, then open InstaPaper. As soon as you open InstaPaper, it will realize you have a URL in the clipboard and ask to save it. For me this is often faster than the bookmarklet.

Thanks everyone. I just downloaded readability and was starting to like it but now that I've got this info Instapaper will be the one i use.

readitlater for me.

bookmarklet for mobile safari, and instant reader display on articles rather than a possible "non mobile page" from the links you save.
Both mobile safari and the ios app do the same thing so, it's up to you which you use.
