Ooh, I wish Readable would add this. I typically only use Readable for long articles. When reading part-way through, leaving, and coming back, it's a pain to locate the paragraph where you left off.

True, but in essence you're saying that you're amazed that everyone doesn't know everything. No one knows everything, and few people have encyclopedic knowledge of a niche topic like blogging. I'm amazed you didn't know that. ;-)
