Good point. I added the following to the docstring: "EWW will display 
matching URLs using `eww-readable' (which see)." I also merged this to 
the master branch as 4b0f5cdb01f, so closing this bug.

I nearly always prefer reading webpages in EWW after running the eww-readable command. Can it be possible to have EWW open webpages in the ‘readable’ view by default, but let you display the full (pre–​eww-readable​) render of a webpage with a command? I.e. have an inverse of the current setup, where you have to manually toggle the readable view.
