Instapaper 4.2 is out. Along with some great new pagination features, the update adds support for sharing to Drafts. If you have both apps installed, when you select text in Instapaper, tap the “Share” menu item – then find “Create draft in Drafts” in the list of options.

Jim Dalrymple was a guest on this week’s episode of The Bro Show – happy to have him select Drafts as his app pick!

Drafts fills this crucial, creative void for me. I have no compunction about launching it and typing, well, anything. What I see, what I feel, what I’m thinking about for a potential future project, anything at all. I didn’t even realize I hadn’t been writing like this anymore, but I’m glad I now have a simple, fast solution for doing so. For 99¢, how could I not have bought it sooner?

I think we’ve brought some really nice additions to the v1.1 update, and managed to do them in record time. Drafts 1.0 was released less than a month ago, after all. Hope you enjoy. Lots more good stuff coming, too. If you haven’t picked up Drafts yet, we hope you’ll give it a try.
