This style sets the results of the Safari print link to the font in your Firefox user settings. It also sets the size of the pre tags to about 2/3 of that setting. This is because their pre tags do not break and thus run off the page when you print. (PRE tags are used for their code samples.) So reducing the font helps a bit. I print in landscape mode. If you are using portrait mode, you may have to reduce the pre font-size of pre even more. Also you can change the size, using percentages, ems, or simply px as you wish. Finally, I access safari from safari.oreilly.com. If you signed up with another publisher you will probably have to change the url-prefix to the one you use. If you want a title to appear on the page see my greasemonkey script at http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/5108 I used the Read Easily extension's styles by bugmenot user as the base for this, stripping out most everything since font sizes and layout are really all that I was interested in.

I was sick of all the crap surrounding books when reading them in HTML mode, so I whipped up a quick and dirty CSS script to remove all the distracting backgrounds and useless stuff (including the giant images on the homepage). I honestly don't know if it produces any rendering bugs other than the obvious (that a couple images may look odd since I didn't bother replacing them). Also, I removed the navigation for O'Reilly, if you want that back, remove #headerNavigation > tbody > tr:first-child from the script. Another darn problem I kept having was that the next-page links were too small and the pages felt hard to read from lack of white space. So I increased the size of the left and right bars, solving both problems in one go.
Very Simply this removes everything except the content on the print view to save paper, and make it nicer when you print some pages to pdf and string them together for viewing when offline. It also makes the background color white for the simple purpose of making print pages look nicer on the screen when images are on display.
userstyle for the freebook "Open Source: kurz und gut" by oreilly for better readability
Use for minimalistic: - Article (and comments) only - Full width - Size 12 font - Justified
O'Reilly Publishing has a new Ruby on Rails book they're developing/previewing online (rails-nutshell.labs.oreilly.com). This short style replaces their crummy font choice and line-spacing with something a bit more readable.
Dark Theme I whipped up real quick for this site. May have bugs but I figured I would contribute it seeing as there are no themes for it already. Works only when reading the books
