Doesn't Readability still require the whole thing to be downloaded, which takes ages? Wouldn't it be better to have an option to use the Google reformatter?

Yeah, it has to download the entire page. Readability just does a script injection and reformats the page.

My only problem is text size. The google reformatter does strip out a lot of the cruft, but I can't say that it's easier to read, which was my goal.

Example, A NYTimes story: http://cl.ly/bC6


Maybe the two pieces can be combined?
