Idea: From Instapaper through Readability to PDF. Automagically.
Problem:
I like to read long blog posts. Many web designers like ads and small font sizes. That problem can be solved with the magnificent bookmarklet “Readability“.
I also like to save things for later (offline) reading with Instapaper’s “Read Later” bookmarklet, but then I still encounter the problem described above.
Solution:
If I could click “Read Later” and the RSS-feed found at my Instapaper-account could be run through Readability I’d be able to make beautiful PDFs for my reading enjoyment.
Question:
How can this be done? There must be great value in these tools, but alas – I’m not that technical of nature.
Is that something you might be interested in?

Why not just use Instapaper’s text view?
It exists for the same purpose:

It’s still not quite there. I’ve started saving articles to Instapaper for later reading, then using the Readability-bookmarklet to make it look like it doesn’t suck and then printing the pdf to a folder I have on my Mac.
The next step would be to read it, and I’ve found that I don’t have too much time to do that after all

Morten Barklund has an idea that sounds similar: http://www.barklund.org/blog/2010/01/02/offline-news-aggregator-social-idea/
