I often read LWN on my cell phone, using Opera Mini. It's actually not half bad - everything comes through pretty well, although section headers end up on the same line as the following section (perhaps due to overzealous use of CSS). However, the really annoying thing is navigation - the piles of navigational links require several pages of scrolling to get past.

Perhaps you could set up a mobile mode for LWN, eschewing much of the navigational crud in favor of simple pages with a link to a navigation page?

We need better small-screen support, I agree. In the mean time, however, you can get a reasonably clean display by turning off the "navigation box on printable page" option and bookmarking the printable page.
