I've seen a lot of talk about the app Readability lately. One example: Sasha Frere-Jones just tweeted:

love that @nybooks has @readability button embedded at top of articles. best reading app out. sorry for promo™ but it's goddamned magical.

I'm a big fan of Instapaper, myself. I use it every day, especially on the subway where there is no cell reception. And it appears Instapaper does pretty much the exact same thing as Readability.

What am I missing here?

First and foremost, you are referring to the iPhone apps—thus, the question should be asked on Superuser. Secondly, what some might consider better, others might not, therefore leaving space for speculation—thus, it’s not fit with the FAQ of the site. – Alex May 29 '12 at 20:22
Actually, iPhone apps are off-topic for Super User. They are on-topic for Ask Different however. – Al Everett May 30 '12 at 1:10
