Seriously, how has this not been done already?
A mobile site (m.b3ta.com perhaps?) or a decent iOS app. Reader works well enough in safari, except that you have to turn it on for each page on every visit, and you can't reply without quitting reader either.

Also, perhaps an optional option (hehe) in your profile to get an email for any reply to your post?
