• This requires JS enabled. Which I disable with ScriptSafe, so for a typical site, it's: enable JS, reload site, hit "read now" bookmarklet, pray that it actually opens.

• The page doesn't always render. In too many cases, the site simply fails to provide content to Readability. And since Readability's hidden their "feedback" button, I've got to hunt for that (or email them, which is better, since Readability doesn't provide feedback on feedback, even to the extent of providing an ack of your submission). After a few rough words with the crew I seem to be on better terms with them (and I really do love the tool and concept).

I realize this isn't the sort of thing that can easily be accomplished client-side, though sometimes I think it's still worth trying. People do the stupidest shit with HTML markup.

If the output is still garbage, I use UnMHT, select the text / article then 'save as'.

If article's purposely set multi-page, tough luck, no solution to that yet ...

Another that works far too often is:

    lynx --dump <url> | less

Or pandoc, which can fetch from URL and output to your specified format (another good way of bypassing craptastic Web formatting). Hrm...

Interesting. I get a TLS error attempting this on HN.

I just discovered that reading through the manpage the other day ;-)
