I really don't understand the reader button logic. If the there are too many separate items on the page Reader doesn't display. If there is an RSS feed available Reader doesn't display. If you are in Private mode Reader doesn't display. Why didn't they just make it so Reader would work any time? Sure they want to display the relevant photos to an article but I would love to just have Reader on by default just as a crap blocker.
I haven't noticed the issue with RSS feeds. Reader is quite intelligent compared to the other JS-based options it copies. For instance, when reading a lengthy, multipage article from Arstechnia or AnandTech it will grab all the pages from the article, not just the first one.
Perhaps they'll add the features you want later or perhaps they were exlcuded by design, but for what I use it for I find it a marked improvement over Instapaper.
I have to hand it to MS, they are in the lead right now with some of the more complex and longterm aspects of HTML5 in IE9. Namely, the Canvas element with HW acceleration.
This link includes has a video comparing IE9 to Safari 5. IE9 wins hands down do the the lack HW acceleration. This is a big deal and I expect we'll see this after not too long in other browsers.
They also now score an 83/100 on Acid3 with a pretty decent image rendering. The Free Market eventually fixes itself.
Some of us are easily impressed. Safari, Chrome, Opera, OmniWeb, and iCab score 100. Firefox scores 94. Internet Explorer scores 83. Congratulations on your victory.

Wow! You tied my first sentence of my first paragraph to my third paragraph, clearly stated as an addendum, and bypassed everything else I wrote. How can your mind even make those mental gymnastics?
You then ignored the HW acceleration of IE9 for Canvas, one of the two primary reasons this clever HTML5 element is not utilized more across the modern web and something not common to all the browsers you mention.
You also completely ignored the point of that third paragraph that shows open standards has truly won now that even IE is catching up moving from 20/100 to 83/100 from IE8 to IE9. On top of that, you've ignored the obvious and likely possibility that if I'm posting about IE gains here that perhaps (just maybe) I'm well I'm familiar with the other vendors Acid3 browser engine scores. A simple Google search of this site would would show that I've been posting about web standards here for years.
