I'm one of Readmill's saddened users. The app was pleasantly effective in its purpose. It embraced a philosophy of simplicity —there were no typeface choices, only size—, but the available options were well selected. The visual rendering of text was really beautiful, and I hope other reading apps to give (even) more attention to this aspect. The cloud storage was very easy, and all the social aspect of reading and the treatment of highlights and annotations were a strong point of distinction. Anyway, I may say that my sadness isn't bigger because there are plenty of alternatives, on iOS and Android, some of which I already use (Kindle, Marvin, Moon+ Reader, etc).
