Bookworm: Reading Mode
by Liza Daly
Bookworm now features an alternate user interface for reading online.
Reading Mode provides an immersive reading experience by stripping away the site navigation and book table of contents and focusing just on the text. It was inspired by the Readabiilty bookmarklet and other experiments in web-based reading.
Here’s a comparison of the two views (click to enlarge):
