The feature is currently in development.

On the mobile app, turn on this flag from Chrome:Flags:
chrome://flags#enable-reader-mode-toolbar-icon

On desktop, you would need to run Chrome with a command line switch. On Windows basically make a shortcut for this:
Chrome.exe --enable-dom-distiller

This would add a new option named Distill Page in the menu. No keyboard shortcut or toolbar button right now.

Works very well.

Chrome finally seems to remember your settings for the reader mode so you don't have to deal with a shitty font at small size!

and looks like this needs to be enabled.

chrome://flags/#enable-reader-mode
