Hi,
Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community. I will certainly help you with this.
Reading view is more streamlined clean and simple layout, book-like reading experience of webpages, without the distraction of unrelated or other secondary content on the page. This will bring whatever you're reading front-and-center. You can even change the reading view style and font size to suit your mood.
If the Reading view icon is grayed out, then that webpage does not support turning on reading view for it. I suggest you to try using it on other website and check if it helps. The alternate option to toggle between reading mode is by pressing Ctrl + Shift +R keys.
Hope this information helps. Post back with updated issue details for further help.
Thank you.

Hi,
As explained by Parth, all websites do not support reading mode.
Microsoft edge is just launched so it will take time for websites to add reading mode available.
Refer this website ,here you can see you reading mode icon working correctly:

Thank you for the information. Using Microsoft Edge, I finally found a webpage where the open book icon was active. When I clicked on it (or used Ctrl + Shift +R), it says Can't show in reading view. I am certainly looking forward to when this feature is further developed for desktop use.

I'm using Edge as a the default pdf reader.
I would like to use reading mode while viewing pdf files, as I prefer invert colors when I read large texts.
Is there a where to force use reading mode while viewing pdf- files?
ctrl + shift + R doesn't help.
