Even without google reader support it is awesome and well worth the purchase. I also think the the next update ( which will include reader support ) is due out in a week or two...
I nearly bought that but lack of google reader support was something that was a big miss for me. They could have and should have had this done by now. I was on the fence between this and FeedHopper, the dev worked on some issues i had with FH and has a clear winner to me. At least the dev with FH was interested in what his customers said, unlike the early edition. They couldn't give two ***** about their customers it seems.
Bought early edition last night and so far I think pretty highly of it. The message in the store clearly says GR support is coming... so not sure how that translates to them not caring about what customers think.
After I use it for a few weeks I guess I'll know if it works well enough for me. I applaud them for the general idea - the newspaper theme fits right in with the hype of the iPad supporting (and supposedly saving) print media.
