I can respect you not wanting a thing like an RSS reader between you and the interwebs, but the RSS reader can blow up text and fir it to the window and remove the graphics, AND store the material for later reading if you access the full text through the reader. Seems that would serve the purpose better than a badly reformatted page (NY Times as an example).

Anyway. I'm not dictating how people should use their tablets and incidentally I agree with you on the non-use of Debian for the same reason.
