First, the bookmarklet from http://www.tidyread.com doesn't work when I activate noscript.
Second tidyread add-on doesn't work if I am running noscript.
tidyread makes my reading life easier and I like both noscript and tidyread and hope they can work nicely together.

Re: Noscript and TidyRead
If the page you're watching is allowed (Temporarily allow) and tinyread.com is allowed, the bookmarklet should work.
Current NoScript version can run the TidyRead bookmarklet on untrusted pages as well as long as you've got tinyread.com in your whitelist, but with an important limitation: after the initial setup, which changes the page layout, temporary permissions automatically given to the page in order to run the bookmarklet get revoked by NoScript, therefore the buttons and drop-downs added by the bookmarklet cannot work.
There's no possible work-around on the NoScript-side, since this is a limit in the bookmarklet design: since it runs in the same context as the page, if the page is not allowed to run JavaScript the bookmarklet won't work either.
However a Firefox extension doesn't suffer of this limitation by principle, so if the TidyRead extension doesn't work either I suspect its developers have been too lazy to properly code it and just "converted" the bookmarklet into an "extension" which still runs the JavaScript code in the same context as the page.
You should pressure those developers to achieve script-enablement independence (like, for instance, in many Google's extensions).
