Hi Emilio, The easiest way to put an Instapaper bookmarklet onto your Safari toolbar is to create the bookmark on your Mac, and then sync it to Safari on your iOS device. I should add that I found that the process of creating the Instapaper bookmarklet on your iPhone or iPad as described at the Instapaper site is also accessible, but it takes more steps to do. Start at the Instapaper extras web page: http://www.instapaper.com/extras
Whenever you encounter instructions to drag and drop a bookmark to your Safari toolbar, simply use the contextual menu (VO-Shift-M) with the option to "Copy Link". Create a bookmark of the current page with the Command-D shortcut, and save it to the "Bookmarks Bar" in the pop up menu, with a name of your choice (e.g. "Read Later"). Then, navigate to that bookmark in the "Show All Bookmarks" page (brought up with Command-Option-B), use the "Edit Address" option of the contextual menu, and paste the link you copied into the address field. This works for javascript bookmarklets (such as the Instapaper Bookmarklet, or Google Translation bookmarklets), as well as regular bookmarks. If you have these as one of the first 9 entries in the Bookmarks bar, you can just use Command+1 for the first bookmark, Command+2 of the second and so forth. Using this shortcut will also run javascript bookmarklets. If you want to read step-by-step directions, I wrote these out in a mac-access list post at the end of last year. Here's the link to this post at the Mail Archive site: http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access%40mac-access.net/msg05153.html HTH.
