Other Comments
This is one of my favorite and most frequently used apps, because it is easy to use. I love always having something to read when I'm on the go without having to bother navigating webpages. It's perfect for long articles. Also I often find something interesting to read in the editor's picks section. Instapaper integrates nicely with Facebook, Twitter, and other sites.
It doesn't support multiple page articles yet. If you want to save one to your instapaper account, you should look for a single page or print view version. However, in his blog the author said that he's working on multipage support.
Accessibility Comments
I didn't run into any major accessibility issue. The only thing I didn't manage was looking up a word in the dictionary. I don't know whether this is because I don't know how it works or because it's not possible using VoiceOver
