I will miss this one. Used it for at least 4 years.

Other than wanting a highlighting feature, I've been completely satisfied with this abandoned product (last update at least 2 years ago?). They nailed it for me, especially with design aesthetics.

And it had the absolute best send-to-Kindle parser: It sent an actual personal document, not a Kindle magazine, and they even managed to include article images most of the time (which other services struggle with).

they had

1) one of the best pool of popular articles in a day - readability.com/topreads 2) best kindle send to 3) best reading mode for a browser

i feel very mildly traumatized losing readability.com/topreads. redef+longform dont quite cover everything topreads did.

#1 reason I stopped using Readability was their "designs".

The web app had constant bugs, especially right after their big redesign and the Android mobile version was terrible. It would pop up a notification every 5 minutes to tell you it's checking for articles, and there was no way to turn that off.

Didn't change for a year, so I dumped them and said "guess this is an abandoned product".

The Android app has been similarly insanely buggy, and seems to want to completely re-download the article database every few uses. That was actually a big part of what pushed me to Pocket.
