This is what I'm using right now. I like that it has a built-in "reader mode" where it fetches the target article from the website and removes all the crud.

But I do have a wishlist of creature-comfort items that would probably never make it in:

* I go days/weeks without reading anything and trying to find out where I left off is a big pain. There doesn't seem to be a way to sort chonologicaly (only reverse).

* The only difference between read/unread items is a tiny gray dot in front of the article title. (I'd rather have the unread items stand out more from the read ones, with a different background, bold text, etc.)

* It would be nice to have a per-feed setting of whether to show the article as it appears in the RSS feed, or go fetch it from the web in reader mode.
