I tried the chrome plugin, then discovered it's now available for Safari:

& both work ok.
I now look for the "reader" button in Safari's address bar, to focus on the actual "article", but some pages don't have that facility, but clicking on "Send to Kindle" provides a similar feature
I can just cancel the send if I decide I don't want to send to Kindle after all.
