Readability on MobileSafari

1. Go to: "http://lab.arc90.com/experiments/readability/"

2. Then, bookmark that page (in MobileSafari) and rename it to "Readability".

3. Now, at the link you just visited in step 1, you should see a box with text that looks like code in it. Copy that by using the iPhone's copying function.
This is the code you will be copying:
"javascript:(function(){readConvertLinksToFootnotes=false;readStyle='style-newspaper';readSize='size-medium';readMargin='margin-wide';_readability_script=document.createElement('script');_readability_script.type='text/javascript';_readability_script.src='http://lab.arc90.com/experiments/readability/js/readability.js?x='+(Math.random());document.documentElement.appendChild(_readability_script);_readability_css=document.createElement('link');_readability_css.rel='stylesheet';_readability_css.href='http://lab.arc90.com/experiments/readability/css/readability.css';_readability_css.type='text/css';_readability_css.media='all';document.documentElement.appendChild(_readability_css);_readability_print_css=document.createElement('link');_readability_print_css.rel='stylesheet';_readability_print_css.href='http://lab.arc90.com/experiments/readability/css/readability-print.css';_readability_print_css.media='print';_readability_print_css.type='text/css';document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(_readability_print_css);})();"

4. Visit the bookmark that you just named readability, and click edit at the bottom of the screen. Arrows should appear to the right of all the bookmarks that are displayed on the screen. Click the "Readability" bookmark.

5. In the second field - the one below the name field that displays the name Readability - paste the code that you just copied.

6. Click done.

7. Visit any article. When you want to view it using Readability, just click the readability bookmark.

Thank you for reading! I hope this helps!
