Hi Brian, last I checked, the Readability app for iOS is not accessible. If that's changed I'd be pleased to hear that.
Reader in Safari on Mac and iOS is fantastic, but there are scenarios where it's not going to deliver. For example, when using a Twitter client on iOS or Mac, you can't add an article to Apple's reading list from those apps. I presume this is because the API doesn't exist to do it. So while I like Reader for things I want to read right away, if I want to just mark an article for reading later, say when I'm on a plane with no coverage, Instapaper rules. another scenario is if you use any device outside the Apple ecosphere. I do use Windows and Android too and it's nice to have all my content in a form that's platform agnostic. It's so good to have a bunch of tools in the toolbox, and to know which is the best for any given task.
