Hello, and thank you for Readability! This is very useful!

I have a small problem, which you can see at

http://far.no/gnuru/course/view.php?id=10

if you like. I use the Clean theme to get responsive design and accessibility on phones, tablets and PC-ies with different screen dimensions.

The Readability result is located and stuck on the right side, which does not work well with the reflow. You will not see the problem if you have a large screen, but if you use a netbook, a tablet or smartphone, you will easily see it.

If the calculated result is moved above or below the text, this problem will be gone - thank you.

Hi, Matt!

I have imported hundreds of Norwegian EPUB books into Moodle, and I have found that the readability filter is "wrong" too often, i.e. saying the a text is easier than it really is. I believe it can be improved by providing a ratio of common versus uncommon words in a text. Question is - how to best go about it?

A suggestion - if word frequency lists are split by age, i.e. into which words are normally considered common after one, two, three years of reading, then the filter could first do what it already does, i.e. supply a suggestion about number of years of reading - say five - and then it only checks to see the ratio of common versus uncommon words up to five years of reading.
