I still need to get some credit to you for the idea, I was too tired when I wrote it to remember. Coming shortly!

i like yours better because it focuses just on the text i’m interested in reading and not the adds etc.

even just letting me customize the Color/Theme and Font Size would be great.

Basically, just put the link in plaintext so it can be copied– you can’t click on a javascript link and copy the contents of it, for some reason.

I might talk to whoever it is behind the original Readability, maybe add an iPhone option? Anyway I used your version of it, so go for it.

I’ve been using Clippable/Readability2 plenty on my computer for reading articles, and I realized that my iPod touch benefits from it, except x1000 because there’s so much less screen space in the first place. But with a couple of modifications it works even better.

In readability.js: var readStyle=‘style-newspaper’; var readSize=‘size-midlarge’; var readMargin=‘margin-narrow’;

Then add a size-midlarge option to the css file, it’s really just a matter of preference but I found medium a little too small and large a little too large; I settled on 22.

The last thing is to add a tag which seems to tell the ipod to see the width of the article as the width of the page and lock the zoom– sometimes it takes a double tap after you run the bookmarklet though. Basically add this to the end of the bookmarklet code:

n = document.createElement('meta');
n.name = "viewport";
n.content = "width=device-width; initial-scale=1.0; maximum-scale=1.0;";
document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(n);

The final result will turn a nytimes.com page (and any other article!) into a pretty close simulacrum of the view in the NYT app.
