I am a new iPad owner, so I apologize if this concern seems obvious or old news, but I'm having some confusion with this app, which I just purchased.
As I was reading an 11 page web article last night on my iPad/Safari, I remembered hearing about this app, and purchased it this morning. I added the 'Read Later' link to my bookmark bar with no problems. Then I realized....the app was saving only the page that it was on...not the whole article, which was the entire point of buying the app. I looked around for instructions on how to save the whole article quickly and easily, which, when reading news articles waxing poetic about the app, and how it is a 'must have,' seems to be it's #1 selling point.
Meanwhile, on my Mac, I simply clicked the 'Reader' button, emailed the article to myself, and read the beautifully and perfectly saved article, seamlessly, right there in my email on my iPad. Granted, my email is not offline.
Then, after doing a bit more research, I learned that IOS 5 will have the 'reader' capability.
I feel like I've just wasted $5, which is not the end of the world, but still....
At this point, I would just like to know how, if possible, to save multipage articles within Instapaper, quickly and easily. Am I missing something? Thanks ahead of time for any assistance.
