I wonder how to open some article using 'reading view' of Readability - just like Tweetbot is doing it. But without sending article to my account and save to queue.
Displaying article using Readability like in Reeder is not so easy, right? I would have to write to company and ask them for access to their parser?
Maybe is there any other good way to parse articles using Readability. I have read something about javascript parser, but don't know too much.
Could you help me?

Readability is all about how easy or difficult it is to read something. Readability depends on a text's presentation (such as font choice, spacing or colors) and context (the words and sentences on the page).
The most common measurement for readability in English is the Flesch-Kincaid test, which is two tests: one measuring reading ease and one measuring grade level. For reading ease, the higher the score, the easier it is to read. Grade level indicates which level of education is required to understand it.
Readability determines how easy to read your text is and scoring high on that quality is definitely something you want to strive for. You might be wondering why, so I'll tell you. For one, a readable text keeps people on your site as it takes them less time to go through it.
You can use Readability mobilizer for this. You will get a cleaned up version of any article, in the Readability styling:
http://www.readability.com/m?url=http://{URLOFTHEARTICLE}
Just prepare the URL and load it in your UIWebView. I'm escaping the parameter values. Here is how it looks in action:
