+
+I am an actively user of the great [Instapaper](http://www.instapaper.com/)
+service. Instapaper is a great tool to save web articles for reading later.
+Even since I got my [Kindle 4](http://www.amazon.de/dp/B0051QVF7A/ref=tb_surl_kindle)
+back in December I let Instapaper sent each and every article I saved directly
+to it right in the morning.  The first thing I do when I wakeup is starting the
+kindle to get the new issue so I can read it at breakfast.
+
+Before I had the Kindle I had to read all saved articles on the PC (or my
+Smartphone) where the reading experience really sucks for long articles.  My
+workflow was much different and I deleted most read articles instead of marking
+them as "read". But since I use the Kindle for reading I always archive old
+articles.
+
+Back in February I started to get some statistics on how much I really read
+(and yes, every article saved to my Instapaper accout I actually read), so here
+is my nice graph:
+
+![Instapaper stats](http://tmp.fnordig.de/2012-05-08-instapaper-stats.png)
+
+I started with 54 saved articles and I am now up to 234 articles. That makes
+180 new articles read in just 77 days (my graph starts on 21.02.).
+
+Most of the articles are coming from [Hacker News](http://news.ycombinator.com/)
+and my twitter stream (maybe I should start some more statistics on the topics
+and which language I read most)
+
+I use a simple script executed via cronjob to fetch the list of articles from
+Instapaper, but more on that later (I have to cleanup the script and then I can
+release it).
+
+-------
+
+P.S.:
+
+If you're wondering what the 3 lines on the bottom of the graph are: the green
+one is the "Starred"-line (currently at 11 articles), the blue one is the
+unread count (mostly between 0-5 articles per day) and the purple line is the
+"saved"-folder (8 articles, which contains non-article links and is now more or less
+superflous as I have a [Pinboard-Account](http://pinboard.in/u:badboy))
