I save a lot more than 20 articles every day. I also don't like the way Instapaper bundles the articles in identically named packages.

Readability makes them all separate items in my reading list, and does a better job (last time I checked) of keeping the author and publication info.

Fair enough. I actually like the way instapaper puts it all together in to one file - i get a kinda of 'personal newspaper' that has it's own contents page etc. And no way I would get through more than 20 articles of reading daily.

Yeah, I can see how that would work. When I was using it, it didn't even have different names or dates or anything for the different files, so it was impossible to even guess where a specific article was.

And I didn't say anything about getting through more than 20 articles. I said I save that many. I try to read a few every night, but usually on a weekend or on an airplane is where I get a lot of reading done.

Marco has another bookmarklet currently available for testing by subscribers that lets you send individual articles directly to your Kindle, bypassing your Instapaper queue entirely. I haven't tried this yet, however.
