Hi Alex and others, I know of the Chrome problem which you describe regarding the address bar. Only for me, it happens in Safari instead of chrome. At any rate, what build of chrome are you guys running? I make it a point to always run the latest dev build. I have chrome set to update automatically. Also, I haven't used reader on my Mac, but I have used it on ios. I find it to be extremely useful. Cheers, Rose Sent from my iPhone
