Introducing: Readability 1.5 —

The Arc90 guys have a nice little Readability update. Two new styles with beautiful Typekit faces and more size and margin options.

This is cool too:

Beyond the “wow, this makes reading so much easier” comments is a whole slew of emails from the elderly, people with vision or cognitive difficulties and users that rely on screen readers. It’s incredibly gratifying to see Readability make a difference for so many people.

For the record, I’m rocking the Athelas style (type info) with Large type and Medium margins.

Readability (bookmarklet) —

Interesting bookmarklet from arc90. Removes all superfluous content and administrative debris from the current page and turns the main content into something very readable. Comes with a few options for font-size and margin width. I’m rockin the Newspaper style with large text and medium margins. The entire web looks like my blog :) Love it.

Oh, and a tip for Safari + Webkit users: drag the bookmarklet to the first position in your bookmarks toolbar and you can use “Command + 1” as a hotkey.
