Jaffa, thanks, that looks great. The instructions say to "drag" the icon to the bookmark toolbar, which I can't do. Nor can I figure out how to make a bookmark of it. Can you? Also, can tear "run" a bookmarklet?

EDIT: I created a TidyRead bookmarklet in Firefox. Then I copied its Properties and pasted it into a bookmark for tear. But it does nothing. I did the same thing with Google Chrome -- creating a "handmade" bookmark by pasting in the properties -- and on Chrome it *did* work. Maybe tear can't do bookmarklets? (I did have tear's Java enabled, so it's not that.)

I tried the same thing with Readability's bookmarklet, and the same thing happened: tear's progress bar keeps cycling but nothing changes on the webpage it shows.
