Reading articles on web is not always easy, especially in Chinese websites, in which floating Ads, flashing animations are taking over the whole page.

Recently I read a blog entry from Jeffrey Zhao, who shared his own experience on UI for online reading in his post.

In his post, he recommended Readability (Btw, he misspelled this word ), which is supported by Safari 5 naturally, and available for download as plugins for Chrome and Firefox. What it does is just to execute a piece of JavaScript to analyze the content of page’s DOM, extract the main part and re-generate the page.

If you’re using IE, you can also create a bookmark easily by right click the “Readability” button in the homepage of Readability, and choose to add to favorites.

Note. When I try in IE (haven’t tried other browsers yet), it always display an JavaScript error says “Unspecified error”, which seems to be related to jquery 1.4.2.

Why not try it now?
