Ah, the joys of clients that dispense with the look and feel an admin or themer has so carefully constructed...

You don't like the service, I take it? :p

I dislike the notion that users access my site in a way other that which I as an admin intend. That said, if I had a large number of mobile users, I'd consider it.

Okay.. So, is 'Readability' a fancy new word for 'RSS/Atom feed'?

No, it's essentially a custom browser that chooses not to render most of the layout.

Meeeehh..........

So, basically, that's Opera with 'User mode' enabled in the View menu.
How original!

Not quite, it must do some work to figure out stuff like tables, but it might be worth some experimentation, curious to see how well the web works in it.

Well... Whatever. I don't think it's worth the hassle.

Certainly not as core, but a plugin might not be too much effort. Need to experiment.

Like Read It Later and Instapaper before it, Readability is a "read it later" service. I have alot of items on Good Reader and find a good item, I have it sent to Readability that interests me the most for later reading because I don't have time. Same for Twitter, there are clients that support "read it later" services

Curious. I wonder what it uses to determine the 'main' content - I note it only has the first post in there.

That's how it's suppose to work, they act like a newspaper, removing everything, the comments, only pulling the main content of the article. I tested with with both Safari which came with its own "Reading List" on OS X Lion and iOS 5. In theory, on some sites, it does show posts after that.

This website had at least ONE good idea... To convert links to footnotes. Can't believe I didn't think of that before. It would be useful in things like the Print page... Wouldn't it?

Yes, it probably would, come to think of it.
