Indeed. I have no personal experience with Readability, so I can't
help you there, unfortunately.

I'm guessing hand-coded HTML may be unpredictable enough for the
Reader to break. Using a well-known publishing system for your content
would probably remedy that. Something like, say, WordPress.

There's a short story web site I frequent that seems to confuse it. The
stories are often broken into sections, and Reader only shows the first
section. Each section is enclosed in <div>...</div> tags. It looks
like Reader stops after the first division.

The site already displays the text in readable plain text, with no ads,
so there's no loss.
