Readability by Arc90

According to Wikipedia, readability is defined as reading ease, especially as it results from a writing style.  Only experience, practice, and hard work can improve a person’s writing style.  Let’s increase readability in a different manner: with typography.

The web is awash with examples of terrible typography: poor font choice, minuscule text, horrible colours.  Everyone has came across a web page that was just about impossible to read.  There is a solution.  Readability by Arc90.

I discovered this tool shortly after my ophthalmologist explained that extended computer use strains eye muscles and that larger fonts may help.  Since then, I use it to read almost every article I come across.  The Firefox add-on makes the process even easier.  After landing on the next great blog post from Hacker News, my next action is invariably to enable Readability with CTRL ALT R.

Give it a try, and give your eyes a break!
