I frequently stumble across lengthy texts that I would like to read some other time on my Cybook. But where is the “add to reader” link? (or perhaps bookmarklet, or an area to paste rich formatted text to).

The current procedure is to mail the URL to myself, download and transform to a mobi file when at a computer having Mobipocket Creator installed and the plug in my Cybook and drag the file to the Cybook. Would it not be easier to just press a link resulting in the text being transferred to my Cybook the next time I plug in?

This could probably be an addition to the News Stand application by Feedbooks or something similar and would be fairly simple to implement (the hard part of course would be to spread it to the webmasters but maybe the environmental angle (a green icon?) and room for even more ads in the API would make it possible).
