How do I save 'Reader' pages?

How do I save 'Reader' pages?

I love the Safari 'Reader' option - removing all the cr*p and clutter from a webpage and just being able to see the text. Safari (5.0.6 on my G4 PB) gives me the option to Mail or Print the Reader page, but I can't Save it.

I do save quite a few pages of interest, in Web Archive format, but the files are always quite large. I really want to be able to save them in 'Reader' form. How can I do this? Is it even possible?

PowerBook, Mac OS X (10.5.8), G4, 1.67GHz, 1GB RAM, 250GB HD

It works, but only for the letter style, the size is still to big even if it shows 2 pages in reader view when u save to pdf it goes back to 4 pages. I tried to do it on the phone but it was the same thing. Honestly apple.

I googled it and found this page. I did not test it.

Thanks, but that's just the normal 2 options (Web Archive, or Page Source). I want to be able to Save the Reader format, which is a beautifully formatted, text-only display.
