I have implemented this at http://www.bytestreamsolutions.com. It works quite well. I have moded the graphics for the font changing but it is quit easy to change the font size without degrading the layout of the site. It makes the lower contrast of the black background to light-gray more paletable. (14px instead of the default 11px seems to be the sweet spot). Your contrast to the original Hemingway on your site is great. I am looking for a light version so I can let my users select the original dark theme or a light theme. Great work.

It was not only the black background, but also the grey text that was quite unreadable. The problem is compounded by the annoying tendency of designers to reduce font size. We users take great care to set it as we need it, why do they screw it up so often? Besides, it's not a Web 2.0 thing to do, at all. ;-) Thank you, Ted, definitely better.
