How do you access online content on your iPad when you can't get online? Even if you have the 3G version of the iPad, there are still quite a few places, from train stations to country towns, where you won't be able to get a signal. Enter Instapaper, which lets you save articles when you're online for reading later when you're offline. The app puts a button in Safari's bookmarks bar that you click whenever you want to save a page for later. This creates a downloadable text-only version of the article under your account name on the developer's website. Later, when offline, you fire up the Instapaper app to read it. You have to do some jiggery pokery setting up this clever bookmark,but this tutorial walks you through the process.
