Tried you bookmarklet right here and doesn’t work for me. :( In IE either, status says “error on page”.

Anyway I am quite content with using Readability, had you tried that one?

On the linkbar it is a one-click solution and affords immediate visibility! A bookmarklet as per Rarst:

javascript:(function(){var newSS, styles=’* { background: #FFF ! important; color: black !important;Font-Family:Verdana,sans-Serif !important }A:link, A:link * { color: #008 !important }A:visited, A:visited * { color: #808 !important }A:hover, A:hover *,A:active; A:Active * {color:#C04 !important;background:#FFD !important} body {Padding:10 20 !important} PRE{Font:300 10px Lucida Console !important}’;if(document.createStyleSheet) { document.createStyleSheet(%22javascript:’%22+styles+%22′%22); } else { newSS=document.createElement(’link’); newSS.rel=’stylesheet’; newSS.href=’data:text/css,’+escape(styles); document.documentElement.childNodes[0].appendChild(newSS); } })();

Can be adjsted to all sorts of desires. On the linkbar it is a one-click solution and affords immediate visibility!

I did post on those while back and now using Readability extensively while reading blogs. :) But for non-browser or other purposes grayscale filter does make sense I guess.
