Arc90, the team behind Readability, is today introducing Readlists, a new website / web app that lets you create your own ebooks from your favorite articles online. The concept is simple: click "create Readlist," paste in whichever URLs you'd like in your book, add a title and custom descriptions, and share. You can export your book in either the near-universal ePub format, or send it directly to your Kindle. Sharing options are pretty standard - each readlist has a public URL for viewing, and a public edit link which you can send to people you want to collaborate with. There's also an embed tool that lets you add lists to your website or blog."
