Making Web Pages more Readable

Posted on March 21, 2009
I have to admit that I am a poor reader of online documents. When I find an article that interests me, the text and formatting (as well as my own distractability) make it really hard for me to pay attention to what I'm reading. That's why I was really happy to happen upon Readability -- it's a really simple tool, that makes reading Web pages more enjoyable by removing all the clutter and advertising. Just visit the Readability site and configure your settings (Style, Size, and Margin width), then drag the customized bookmarklet to your browser's menu bar. The next time you visit a web site that's hard to read, just click your Readability bookmark and -- voila! A readable page. To get back to the original page, just scroll to the bottom right and click Reload Page.
