This was the worst article reading experience I think I've ever had on a desktop. With "related stories" taking up more screen space than the article itself, I'm seeing something like 5-8 words on each line on my 1920x1200 display. The article text is wrapping around an animated gif (the kind that is still 99% of the time and then it moves suddenly and goes back to rest) in the first paragraph.

I hate to contribute nothing but this complaint, but I'm actually having trouble reading this.

firefox's "reader view" does a decent job of eliminating the crap.
Coincidentally, I had heard about that just today as well. I understand the site you're reading has to be "compatible" in some way. I guess that just means that the content has to be "easy" to identify and extract programmatically? Do you often encounter sites where Reader doesn't work?
