I hope I'm not going crazy and remembering this wrong, but I haven't seen the "Reader" button pop up in Safari since I upgraded to iOS 6 on my iPad. There's some documentation I'm going through that's getting clipped on the edges that I'd really like to use the reader for, but I can't figure out where it went. Am I doing something wrong, has the function moved, or is it just gone?
 
I played around with this a bit more and I'm definitely getting the "Reader" button to shop up on my iPhone, but the same sites don't seem to trigger it on my iPad. Is anyone able to trigger Reader mode on an iPad?
 
Works fine on my iPad 3 running iOS 6. Check an article on the NY Times site. They trigger Reader for me.

For that matter, try an article on macrumors.com. They also trigger Reader on my iPad.
