There is a cool feature in Safari that will sometimes be available for some websites. I cannot remember what Apple named this feature, but see the attachment. Compatible websites will have an icon in the upper-left of the page in the address bar that looks like a miniature view of multiple lines for text. Press that icon and not only is the text enlarged and made bold, but the advertisements go away too! Unfortunately, not all websites allow it, including MobileRead. I guess they can deactivate or prevent it. Sites that rely heavily on annoying ads are likely going to prevent the feature if they know how. So MR owners, please allow it by changing the way your websites are configured.

BTW, sometimes this feature works really well, especially for websites with mostly text. sometimes it gets a bit wonky if there are a lot of graphics. But most of the time it works pretty well.

Apple, just like Amazon, has had great difficulty understanding that people want and NEED to adjust formatting on text. I'm not sure why both companies have been so adverse to that, but they have.

ETA: The feature is called Reader View and it works on the Mac OS X version of Safari as well as the iOS version.
