"Enter Reader View" will only appear if the content of the web page meets certain conditions, so you may not always be able to use this feature.

Reader view only displays text on a web page for containers that meet conditions like a specific layout. There is a minimum character count for containing elements that show in Reading mode, so you may not see all the text if the page isn't designed to be used with reader mode.
