readability.js - sweet way to attach snapshots without graphics

snlr
I usually save a snapshot of the current page whenever I bookmark it. When there is a print button leading to an actual page "optimized for printing", I use that instead to avoid saving the whole UI. However, a lot of webpages don't offer that, which means that a lot of useless graphics accumulate (I think).

Anyway I discovered that by using this Javascript, it's possible to strip any useless stuff, which works even better than the optimized print pages in most cases: http://lab.arc90.com/experiments/readability/

I put it as a bookmarklet, couldn't be easier!

    Great little tool, been using it for a few months. Besides using it for webshots in Zotero (as snlr helpfully suggested) it also makes for cleaner PDFs when clipping articles from webpages to your personal research archive.
