Thanks, Brett! Good question — looks like Mr. Reader, River of News, and Perfect RSS Reader are iPad only. MobileRSS and Reeder have separate iPhone versions to be purchased in addition to the iPad version.

Thanks so much for the news, Oliver! I’ll definitely be looking forward to the update. I have to say, you have done a lot of great work in a very short amount of time. Much appreciated!

Hi Sara,

thanks for your article. I’m the developer of Mr. Reader and just found your post while “curating” Mr. Reader news by using scoop.it.

The reason why it does not have the “Share with Note” feature is simple: I never shared a article with a note. But it is already on my TODO list and coming. As you mentioned above, Mr. Reader is available on the App Store since 5 months, and it’s nearly impossible to integrate “everything” in this short time.

Best,
Oliver

P.S. The next update is currently in beta test and gets uploaded for review by Apple in the next few days.

Thanks for this — I’m a big Google Reader / Diigo user myself, and this was exactly what I needed. Looks like I’ll be picking up Mr. Reader.

How many of these (if any) are iPad only?

Follow up: turns out there was an interesting serialized book experiment in 2009. Author Max Barry wrote his novel, Machine Man, one page at a time with reader feedback: http://www.maxbarry.com/machineman/page.html?p=1

I love my ebooks…but also want the lowest price. Buying serial novels depends on writer and price. I would vary between reading chapters and saving for the whole novel. The difference is portability, space A on my book shelves, sharing with family online (husband overseas) and ease of acquiring online. Smaller towns do not have the greatest selection of traditional books. Some of my books are on my iPhone, laptop, iPad, and desktop. Great article, Sar!!

[...] “Organizing Google Reader,” by Sara Quinn Thompson Instead of sorting your RSS subscriptions into folders by subject, sort them according to how frequently they have new posts and how much you want to read them. This way you will always go through your most important and/or timely articles first, saving the not-so-important articles for a more leisurely time. [...]
