So I just upgraded my iPad (first generation) to iOS 5 and one of the features that looked interesting was Reader in Safari. But I'm browsing all these webpages and I don't see the button in the address bar. Can you only use this on certain webpages? Or am I missing something?
Got a tip for us?

I have an iPad 2 so I don't know if it is the same. However, the little "glasses" icon doesn't show up -- I have to click the bookmarks symbol and it brings up "Reading List". Is this what you are referring to?
I think Reader (displayed by the URL in the address bar) is only available on content / sites that are not mobile optimized.

Yep Reader only works on certain webpages (I don't know what determines which ones can use it) but the button in the address bar has only shown up on one website for me so far!
