One of the coolest Google Reader features that has disappeared with
the release of the new iPhone Google Reader interface is the ability
to re-format pages to an easier-to-read "mobile" version.

Here is a workaround that works for me:

1) Create a bookmark on your iPhone with the following URL:

javascript:location.href='http://www.google.com/gwt/n?
u='+encodeURIComponent(location.href);

NOTE: The discussion interface on this page automatically breaks this
URL into two lines, so when saving to your bookmarks, the URL should
be one line only and with no spaces!!!

2) Name and store the bookmark somewhere where you will have easy
access from Mobile Safari on your iPhone. (I call my bookmark: "Google
Mobilize" or "Open in GWT" and I store it in a folder called
"Hotlist" [where I put my commonly used iPhone URLs] )

3) Visit a web page on your iPhone that is painfully large and/or
formatted to be seen on a desktop screen. (For example: http://abcnews.com/
or http://sfgate.com/ ) Note: You don't have to let the page
completely load, just enough so that the address shows up in the URL
field.

4) While on the large page, open your bookmarks and open the new
bookmark(let) you just created. This will send and process the current
URL through the Google mobile translation service!

5) View the page without ads, and get to the content quicker! :)

Ultimately, it would be really nice if this option was available in
Google Reader (like it was in the old XHTML earlier version!!!), but
in the meantime, this is a hack that might help some of you out...

BTW: I used to use http://espn.com/ as an example, but it doesn't
appear to work in GWT anymore! Interesting! :)

Another attempt to display the URL better:
<tt>javascript:location.href='http://www.google.com/gwt/n?
u='+encodeURIComponent(location.href);</tt>
