Ben Brooks:

Here’s a thought I had after reading about the discount applied towards Nooks if you buy a subscription to select periodicals: What if instead of buying an e-reader that is book-centric, you get an e-reader that is Instapaper-centric (with the ability to side load eBooks)?

It’s an interesting idea, but it effectively already exists: the $79 Kindle is a pretty good Instapaper device that happens to also be able to read books and old-world periodicals from one of the biggest catalogs in the world.
