Hey tbc. Very interesting. This site has the following style rule:

footer ~ iframe { display: none !important; }

So since Just Read uses an iframe and appends it to the end of the page, the rule above hides the Just Read view.

If you read on this webpage regularly you can use an extension like Stylebot (which lets you customize the CSS of websites for yourself) and add a custom CSS rule to override this style:

#simple-article {
    display: block !important;
}

If you don't read from this website regularly, I recommend that you just leave it as is 🙂 It's not worth me adding a workaround in the CSS of Just Read for this case I don't think.
