This is perfect. By far my biggest complaint about Instapaper is that I can't find enough content to save to it — anything shorter than a few thousand words feels too insignificant to save for later.
A couple suggestions: I think the front page could be two to three times as long. Also, the "Read Later" button doesn't feel very button-y. My first thought was "Why does every article have a bookmarklet for me to drag to my toolbar?" It would probably be better as a link. Lastly, could the word "Instapaper" and the fact of the site's integration with it be more prominent? I had to hover over a Read Later button to figure out what would happen when I clicked it. (I suspected that it would save to Instapaper, but that's largely because of the aforementioned bookmarklet-ish look.)
I second ihodes' sentiment that this is not far from being something I'd pay for.
Edit: on second thought, I'd only multiply the number of articles per page by 1.5–2.
