What is Email This?
"Email This" is a Firefox add-on that allows you to save clutter-free versions of articles to your email for later reading. It removes ads, unnecessary sidebars and distractions from a webpage, thereby providing a clean, readable view of the content. You can save webpages with one click or a keyboard shortcut, and add notes keywords to your saved pages for easy searching. The add-on even lets you save links without opening them, and supports saving PDFs, DOCX files, PPTs, Excel sheets and images as email attachments. Plus, it's completely free to use.

There's a great need for an extension like this for Firefox. But, sadly, the first step, where I would supply "Your email (this is where we'll send your your bookmarks)" isn't accepting any input: "Sorry, there was an error while processing your request. Please try again. If this problem persists, drop us a line at [email protected]." I'll send the fellow an email, but the reviews make it clear this extension is not functional most of the the time. Sad.
