In this interview with NPR's Planet Money, Marco tells the story of how he started Instapaper as a site for personal use and then turned it into a side-business. Eventually it grew to the point where he could make a living off it. He discusses the economics of Apple's App Store vs. ad-supported web sites and his experiences with choosing the optimal price for his app. It's a very interesting interview. (18 minutes long)
