There are plenty of great choices to read web content distraction-free, and two of the best are teaming up for the launch of the new Readability.com website, with the developer of Instapaper providing an official mobile app in the near future.

Instapaper developer Marco Arment announced via his blog on Tuesday that he’s teamed up with Arc90, creators of the popular Readability service. If you’re not familiar with Readability, it’s a slick bookmarklet “which performs an article-text parse of any web page and displays the results in a highly readable, adjustable format.” (Think of Instapaper’s own text view, or the Reader function in Apple’s Safari 5.)

“Today, they launched an entirely new Readability service,” Arment announced. “You pay a small fee each month, and they give most of the proceeds to the authors of the pages you choose (by using the Readability bookmarklet on them, or adding them in other ways). It’s a great way for readers to support web publishers, big and small, directly and automatically.”

The “small fee” can be as little as $5 per month, although Arc90 is continuing to make the original, free Readability tool available as well. The developers will compensate writers and publishers to the tune of 70 percent from all membership fees paid -- if that sounds familiar, it’s the same business model used by Apple for the App Store (30 percent to Apple, 70 percent to the developer).

Instapaper will be working with Readability in three major ways. The first is that the Instapaper service and apps “will soon provide an option to send logs of your reading activity to your Readability account if you have one, so pages you read in Instapaper will give ‘credit’ to the publishers.”

Additionally, Arment is an advisor to the new Readability service, and will be providing a special “Readability edition” of the Instapaper iOS apps which will serve as the company’s official mobile app, “due out in the near future.” In the meantime, popular RSS app Reeder offers the free Readability service on their Mac OS X desktop beta as well as in the iPhone/iPod touch and iPad versions.

Arment appears to be a big fan of Readability, and you can check it out for yourself by heading to the new website and signing up with your monthly service fee.
