Turn off Safari Reading List in Mac OS X

One of my favorite features of Mac OS X’s Safari web browser is Safari Reading List. For those of you unfamiliar with Safari Reading List, this feature within the Safari web browser, give you the ability to save articles to read whenever you like.

This is a great feature for anyone who users other Apple devices such as an Apple iPhone or iPad, because you can use iCloud to keep articles you have stored for reading within Safari Reading List synced across devices.

For those of you who don’t use this feature, you can easily turn it off in your Safari web browser using these steps.
