I'm one of the people that never go back to the TOREAD list again. I
recently had such an experience so I created a list of bookmarks in my
mobile browser and went through it about 2 weeks later when I really
had time, but I actually read them in my laptop. Which brings two
questions/proposals:

* What do you see is the difference between instapaper and a bookmark?
I guess the fact that not all bookmarks are meant to be read later,
right? Some of them are pages you visit a lot, etc. In such a case, I
think you could put them in a TOREAD folder in your bookmarks and you
are good to go.
* One thing instapaper can do better than bookmarks is the fact that I
could have saved my TOREAD from my mobile and then pull the list from
my laptop, and that is syncing. Syncing is getting hot in Rekonq for
next release, so an instapaper provider could be a good proof of
concept for our syncing mechanism, and that's the way I think we
should approach this.

All in all, great idea, I might try that service myself and see if I
can get a bit more organized :)
