    Last night for some reason I wanted to try to redesign Instapaper, just for fun. I only use it on my iPad, and started thinking what for me would be the most comfortable way to read a lot of articles fast.

    I've attached 3 screenshots:

    1. The default view of the first page.
    2. What it would look like when you pull up the first page (I'm not a big fan of scrolling long articles, I prefer dragging like in Reeder, or tapping the side area to go to the next page). Once you pull past the "Page 2" marker (or tap the right side area), the second page slides up.
    3. The second (and in this case last) page.

    Note: This is not me criticizing the current interface for Instapaper. Marco did a terrific job with it, and it is hands down the best app on the iPad. This was just me being bored for an hour or 2.

    nice take on it Tim, looks good. I agree reeder and instapaper are the two main things I use my iPad for. And maybe the twitter app. it's a tasty experience as well.

    Yay for the muted white background. Nay for the narrow columns (a matter of taste – I don't like them on screen).

    Hmm, needs more 1px gaussian monochrome noise.

    Tim, you have a knack for redesigning things for people who never had to ask. The world's best “pro bono” designer!

    You've nailed the contrast on this. Gives it an E Ink kind of a feel.

    Got to agree with Jonathan, I think it's the e-ink feel that really sets it off!

    Makes it feel very magazine-like. :)

    Wonderfully mocked-up, though I'm still deciding if I'd like to read in this format.

    Love it, man. Really, I do. I think I'd like it more if it was a little brighter, but I'd use the world out of this app if it looked like this.
