Is it still possible to accomplish what Readability originally was for -- that is, to click a Javascript bookmarklet that reformats the page you're reading with nice text and no distractions?

I never needed their service that you log in to. I still have their bookmarklet around, but it doesn't seem to work anymore.

Coincidentally I've built a server-side alternative for my own purpose but given the niche /problem/ and readily available browser plugins (or native as with Safari), I've never turned it into a product. Technically it's rather simple.
Many browsers now have this option for article-like pages, e.g. Firefox and Safari.
