FireFox has a Reader View button in the address bar and View menu for sites that support it, as does the EDGE browser. FireFox<https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search/?q=reader%20view&platform=WINNT&appverA.0.2> and Chrome<https://chrome.google.com/webstore/search/reading%20view?hl=en-US&_category=extensions> also have various extensions that have similar functionality. There is also a site/service called Textise<http://www.textise.net/>; that transforms any page into text, it has a FireFox add on<https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/textise/>, plus a Bookmarklet<http://www.textise.net/Bookmarklet.aspx>; for other browsers and iOS<http://iosbookmarklets.com/tutorials/textise-bookmarklet-ipad/>;. A nice thing about Textise is it can keep you in text-only mode as you go from page to page, so you do not have to activate every time you go to a new site.
