Readability.com is a better way to read online.
Tiny fonts, flashing ads, confusing navigation. Sometimes making it through an article online can feel like driving through a construction zone at rush hour. Have you ever wished you could press button and have the article you want to read magically (and instantly!) optimized for easy, quick reading?
Readability.com is one of the most useful web apps we’ve ever come across for people who like to read articles online. Readability turns any web page into a clean view for reading now or later on your computer, smartphone, or tablet. It automatically adjusts the font size, changes the background color, and eliminates all “non article” distractions.
Some Readability features include:
- With the free Readability browser add-on, you can transform any web page with a single key stroke.
- Send any article on the web right to your Amazon Kindle, or send your reading list as a daily digest.
- Readability stores articles you find on the web for reading at your convenience–any time, anywhere.
Being able to store articles to read later with Readability is a great way to dial down distractions and save an “interest list” of articles to catch up on later. The ability to send articles directly to the Kindle via plug-in or email link is a big plus for when you want to get away from the computer screen, but still catch up on your articles.
While there are occasional formatting problems with oddball web pages here and there, the time and strain saved by Readability make it an absolutely indispensable tool.
A new iOS (iPad & iPhone) app for the service is set to debut soon, too.
