Credits
* First of all thanks to xda-developers forum user zefiltrin (hugocbp) for the idea (see his thread), also thanks to other members on that thread for their comments
* LateReader uses Sense SDK, and I must admit that this wonderful library freed me from hundreds of lines of custom drawing code.
* I used Majestic12 HTML parser for parsing page texts
* Finally I must thank to the makers of Read It Later
