I don't know about simple reading since I have always just read anything I wanted since I started studying, no matter how complicated it was.
But I like this site
http://www.aozora.gr.jp/
It is basically full of out of copyright books.
And as far as I know they all display furigana aswell.
When you find a book you want to read using the links you scroll to the bottom of the page, and you have a choice of a link to an html page or a couple of downloads.
For example here is the 吾輩は猫である page:
http://www.aozora.gr.jp/cards/000148/card789.html
And this is the link to the html page:
http://www.aozora.gr.jp/cards/000148...789_14547.html
I like to read through these either looking things up or figuring them out by myself as I go.
