There are some applications like Readability and Pocket, which are letting users to read the main content of web pages, in a clean interface or such. But the articles should be bookmarked from another application, or the web browser.

However, I'm creating a news reader app (Zite and Flipboard are popular news reader apps), and I want to create a clean experience for users, so I want to show full content of articles inside my application. Some websites have fulltext feeds, and I'm using it.

But about some other websites, which don't have full text feeds: I want to know, is it legal/ethical to use for example Readability API (Or maybe writing my own code for this) to show full text of articles inside my application?

Whether or not it is legal is going to depend upon a whole host of copyright law and various jurisdictions. In some places, yes, it will be legal. In others, no. If you're really worried on this point, please consult an attorney that specializes in the areas where you will be pulling content from and publishing to.

Whether or not it is ethical is still difficult to answer, but can be examined. If you are providing full attribution to the source of the articles AND you are honoring sites that request you to not copy their content, then yes it could be ethical. If you are portraying the work(s) as your own, that would not be ethical.

It sounds like you're providing some sort of aggregation functionality. Most aggregators don't claim the material as their own and the users generally know where the content came from. I would look to existing applications to determine how you differ and whether or not your app's difference remain within the bounds of ethical and legal behaviour.
