That's why I think rikai.com is better. Instead of it just showing you the readings, you actually have to copy and paste the URL or text itself, load up rikai.com, paste, and have it do the same thing rikaichan does.

You'll find after a while, you'd rather work your way through it because it's just so tedious to do the above method with rikai.com.
