Have you tried using Instapaper or Readability or ReadItLater or the Google Mobilizer?
http://instapaper.com/ http://readability.com/ http://readitlater.com/
Each of these offers two kinds of services built around a mechanism to make a web page more readable (by extracting the main page text and displaying it in a larger font without the distractions of ads, menus, and other stuff). The two services are: a way to clean up the page instantly and read it, and second a way to save it for later reading. For the former use I recommend Readability. For the latter use I suggest Instapaper.
Readability provides plugins/extensions as browser buttons or bookmarklets that you can drop to your browser bookmark bar. When you are a on a page you want to read, you can click on the browser button or bookmarklet to have the main text of the page rendered in a colour, font and size of your choosing without the rest of the junk on the page. For example, here’s a screenshot of the Readability version of the jdeanicite blog post: http://cl.ly/0A1w0T2M3h3t462p2S2E (the post is a bit confusing for me — there are a bunch of typos and talk of a “language of desert” that I don’t understand).
Readability is also built into the Safari web browser from Apple, which is available both for Mac OS X and Windows: http://www.apple.com/safari. A “Reader” button appears in the URL bar in Safari (for pages that it is capable of rendering cleanly).
