The +Paper.li bookmarklet is a great way to add your favorite content - from anywhere on the web - to your Paper.li paper. Add content to your paper while on the go, straight from your mobile phone, by using the bookmarklet!
Once the bookmarklet is added to your bookmarks, you can add images, videos or an article to your paper. But how do you install the bookmarklet on your mobile phone? The "how to" is slightly different from adding it to your bookmarks bar on a desktop computer.
Install the +Paper.li bookmarklet on your Chrome mobile app
1. Copy the Javascript for the bookmarklet.
javascript:void(function(){var w,to=5000,t=setTimeout(function(){w=window.open('https://paper.li/~/share?url='+encodeURIComponent(window.location.href))||alert('This site doesn\'t allow to include its content in paper.li or prevents the usage of bookmarklets.')},to),a=document.createElement('script');a.setAttribute('type','text/javascript');a.setAttribute('src',document.location.protocol+'//paper.li/assets/bookmarklet/init.js');a.onload=function(){clearTimeout(t);w && w.close()};document.body.appendChild(a);}());
2. Go to any page on the web (such as paper.li support article shown below) and add the page to your bookmarks.
