Would have been nice to see a side-by-side comparison with other solutions such as Read It Later.

While it's not a side-by-side comparison, David Chartier has written a very good comparison of the various read-it-later services.

I prefer Instapaper.com. It's $4.99 iOS app is well worth the price for better features and ease of use.

Mind me ask what are the "minor issues"?

I have tried Readability since day one, used a bit , gave it up, then retry every time an update came out.
The buggy sync issue push me away every time. I just cannot get the syncing correct every time.

Some articles just could not be sync-ed to the mobile devices. The sync count on my iPhone / iPad / web browser never really in sync-ed.

Cool....the concept of summarizing the content reminds me of the Summ.ly app but different that it includes blog posts and other web pages. Seem like more featured to it too.

Thanks for the review Brian.
