Readability: readers’ dream, publishers’ nightmare

To the detriment of online advertisers and publishers there’s an ever-growing number of apps designed to strip online content to its bare bones — nothing but body text and inline images — whether for reading later or simply to cut out the clutter of ads, links and widgets.

Readability has plenty of competition, but its simple, elegant interface and integration with third-party apps makes it my pick of the bunch, for now.
