I prefer using my Readability bookmarklet: http://lab.arc90.com/experiments/readability/

It doesn't work for me with HN.

It is mostly for articles, not for forums: as you can see in the example, a single column of text is displayed. Threaded conversations do not fit this model.

Wow, that looks pretty damn awesome. I'm going to have to give it a try.

There is a mirror of the article at: http://anirudhsasikumar.net/examples/readefine/

The actual tool is at: http://readefine.anirudhsasikumar.net/

This is great. It looks like something I've always wanted, but never realized until now--a much more pleasant way to read text on a computer.

Seeing this makes me want to learn Flex. Wonder if there's anything like this but open-source?

The Flex SDK is free, but Flex Builder (the IDE) is not.

I meant something like the Readefine application.

I have nothing against Flash. I use it for creating tutorials. But can this kind of page be rendered to (x)html using Tex (LaTex)?
