Unfortunately, <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.instapaper.com\/post\/144965148\" target=\"_blank\">the latest version of Instapaper Free<\/a> is simply a downgrade masquerading as an upgrade. This version removes the ability to save your place if you quit the application while in the middle of reading a saved article. However, it has two other qualities that are far worse: it shows ads and it only allows you to keep your ten most recently saved articles on the iPhone. I&#8217;m still running the old version of Instapaper, and will continue to do so because it&#8217;s allowed me to save over 100 articles from the web to my phone. Whenever I need something to read, I just go to Instapaper. Some articles are months old, but I frequently dig into my archive for reading material, especially if it&#8217;s a long essay or short story from the New Yorker. I really like the old Instapaper and hope that I&#8217;ll be able to continue using it. If not, I guess I&#8217;ll go back to paper\u2014that is the kind that comes from trees.<\/p>\n<div class=\"zemanta-pixie\" style=\"margin-top: 10px; height: 15px;\"><a class=\"zemanta-pixie-a\" title=\"Reblog this post [with Zemanta]\" href=\"http:\/\/reblog.zemanta.com\/zemified\/3db50b46-c6a2-4b5c-b568-9f0a63911a8f\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"zemanta-pixie-img\" style=\"border: medium none; float: right;\" src=\"http:\/\/img.zemanta.com\/reblog_e.png?x-id=3db50b46-c6a2-4b5c-b568-9f0a63911a8f\" alt=\"Reblog this post [with Zemanta]\" \/><\/a><span class=\"zem-script more-related pretty-attribution\"><script src=\"http:\/\/static.zemanta.com\/readside\/loader.js\" type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script><\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As many of you know, one of my favorite iPhone applications is Instapaper.
