That's what I was thinking, I've been using that in Chrome for a long, long time. But this is talking about a 'share' button directly on the web site, as in it's in the list of 'share' buttons like fb, g+, email and all the rest.
I'm not really following why anyone would want to do it that way, if you have a kindle and read web sites like that you likely already have the sendtokindle extension. This seems to just be adding clutter to something I already consider clutter. Guess I'm not the target market, as usual.
Even better has been their Google Reader to Kindle service, which I've set up to send a daily chapterized kindle version of all the news blogs I follow.
I've been using Readability for over a year and am very happy with it. It eliminates all the clutter and send me a very nice and readable document. If you do not want to send but make the article "readable" that is also possible with the plug-in. No need for a button either, I use shortcuts.
On the blog post announcing this and the actual landing page (http://www.amazon.com/gp/sendtokindle) I was surprised not to see an actual example of the button (or implementation on their own blog).
You can email in links to Instapaper and then have them delivered to your Kindle. You can even have Instapaper batch them together for you and deliver them at certain times.
Does Instapaper still refuse to stitch articles? I remember that being a dealbreaker the 18th time I went to check if that was really how a piece ended :)

Oh well.
I found one a few clicks in:

Except I don't like their Chrome extension. The Instapaper bookmarklet seems much more secure.
