Apparently, they've retired the old one. Here's a link to the new free bookmarklet: https://www.readability.com/bookmarklets/ https://www.readability.com/bookmarklets/

  My old bookmarklets still work and the old site still seems to work fine (http://lab.arc90.com/experiments/readability/ http://lab.arc90.com/experiments/readability/). It would be pretty foolish of them to break everyone's existing endpoints like that.

Really? Mine (yet) works fine. I'm using Google Chrome 8; my bookmarklet is: javascript:(function(){readConvertLinksToFootnotes=true;readStyle='style-apertura';readSize='size-medium';readMargin='margin-wide';_readability_script=document.createElement('script');_readability_script.type='text/javascript';_readability_script.src='http://lab.arc90.com/experiments/readability/js/readability.js?x=+(Math.random() http://lab.arc90.com/experiments/readability/js/readability....);document.documentElement.appendChild(_readability_script);_readability_css=document.createElement('link');_readability_css.rel='stylesheet';_readability_css.href='http://lab.arc90.com/experiments/readability/css/readability.css;_readability_css.type=text/css;_readability_css.media=all;document.documentElement.appendChild(_readability_css);_readability_print_css=document.createElement(link);_readability_print_css.rel=stylesheet;_readability_print_css.href=http://lab.arc90.com/experiments/readability/css/readability-print.css;_readability_print_css.media=print;_readability_print_css.type=text/css;document.getElementsByTagName(head)[0].appendChild(_readability_print_css);})();* http://lab.arc90.com/experiments/readability/css/readability...

  [Your JavaScript breaks this page for me on iPhone and Safari; maybe post a link to a GitHub Gist instead?]

  Slightly O/t, but at what level do you get downvotes? I'd like to use one here.

    I apologise for the inconvenience! Is it due to the long JavaScript? I didn't think it'd break the formatting, and now that I have realised I can't edit or delete it. Could you please tell me why you want to downvote my comment? Thanks!

  Why all the downvotes? I only wanted to point out that the old bookmark worked fine for me. Is it due to the JavaScript I posted (in an attempt to help a fellow commenter) "breaking the page"? If so, perhaps that is more the website's design's fault rather than mine. (I'd edit the JS it into a gist if I could but the editing time has passed; additionally, I can't delete the offending comment.) Perhaps next time you could point out why someone has been downvoted as well so as for them not to repeat their mistake again? I'm very sorry for the inconvenience!

    I think it's because this page has been rendered unreadable now. The irony of this comments page having poor readability is not lost on me :)
