You've stated that the browser on readers don't work a fair few times now. What are you judging this by? From pictures of even old Kindles I can only assume that they have fairly decent CSS and JavaScript support, although I imagine JavaScript heavy pages or pages with complicated stylesheets would get painful to use quite quickly.

I put "usable" at reading plaintext, rendering an HTML form and submitting it. If any reader failed to render 68k.news I would be amazed (and somewhat disappointed, I have a very cheap PRS-T1 on it's way as an experiment for using an eink device as a news reader).
