Responding to this old message since Carrol brought up the issue again in a post a few minutes ago.

What I have troubale with is moving around a web page, since as soon as I expand it to make it readable, most of it is not on the screen. And expanded screens jump about uncontrollably.
I am not sure why Readability and/or Instapaper aren’t helping you. For instance, here’s the somewhat poorly designed pink-scare blog page that you just wrote about:

And here it is after one click on a Readability button in my browser:

And here is the same Readability rendered page with the font size jacked up two sizes:

I cannot believe that you are cutting and pasting text to your disk, to manipulate it in order to read it. This sounds masochistic and I hope we can find an easier way for you to read stuff.
