on The New Readability

I’m using the readability bookmarklet for quite a long time now and I like what you’re up to right now.
But what really is a drawback for now: With the new bookmarklet the URL of the original article is altered and with that the favicon changes as well. So if I have open 2 or more articles I wanted to read using readability, they are not as easy to identfy, as they all have the same favicon. In addition, if I have to restart my browser, and all tabs are restored, those articles are not restored as the original article, but as the readability version.
Until now readability only was a layer on top of the original article and website, now it’s a separate platform, which moves away from the original article’s website. In other words: It’s a second Instapaper, which I really like and use on a day-to-day basis, but I also liked readability for its simplicity.
And still, more payment options would be nice. Maybe that’s on your roadmap, but I wanted to stress that fact anyways. As I’m sitting in Germany, Amazon paments only allows me to pay with my credit card, and not through my (german) bank account. Paypal of course would be an option, maybe there’s something else, so it wouldn’t always be the usual suspects.
Thanks for now.
