I've been using Feedly via the Chrome extension and it has been working fine. Of course, I don't need it to sync with anything.
I like it a lot better than Google Reader.

tommy,
if you do most of your RSS reading on the ipad, I would recommend two apps: Flipboard or Reeder.
I love love love love love Flipboard. And it has other uses (like creating your own magazine and sharing it with friends), following other topics and RSS feeds. Seeing your twitter feed, tumblr, etc.

Hey. New board.
Jessica, the cloud reader was released just a few days ago.

Old reader is OK, but has minor bugs. The scroll bar sort of semi-disappears and gets hard to grab. Not quite as bad as actual reader with the disappearing scrollbar but almost. Also the scroll bar tends to hit bottom with more stuff to scroll. Then you hit the "next" button on the old reader post, and that makes the rest of the scrollbar appear. I think part of it is that I have my windows font set too big. They warn you in the windos 7 settings that the extra-large font setting can cause problems, but with my eyes on balance it is better.

Just installed Feedly (website) so far so good. I'll try the extension.

Sticking to website. No advantage for me in chrome extension.

I know we've discussed Google Reader alternatives before, but do folks have opinions on alternatives after using them for a while?
If you have server space, I've liked Tiny Tiny RSS.

Anyone else use Accuweather for iOS?
It's been giving me a download error for a couple days. Wondering if anyone else uses it and has had a problem before I contact them.
I actually have really liked the app and they have a paid one that I would be tempted to buy if I knew why the free one was suddenly having issues. I did delete the app and redownload it but I'm not actually sure if that was a real reinstall or not.

So, my Kindle Keyboard is totally borked but Amazon will sell me a refurbished one (any model) with some pretty decent discounts.
The ones I'm interested in are:
Paperwhite $83
Paperwhite 3G $127.20
Kindle Fire 32GB $155
I'm leaning towards the Paperwhite (wifi only) since (a) it's the cheapest and (b) I already have an iPad so I don't really need a Kindle Fire. The only appeal there is that my iPad is technically my employer's hardware, so if I lose my job I have to give it back. That's not likely to happen, but it is in the back of my head.
My old Kindle had 3G but I didn't use it very often and wifi is available many more places now than it was a couple of years ago. Not sure it's worth an extra $50.

Our wings are not tired.
I ADORE my Paperwhite so, so much. It's SO nice not to have to have an external light to read when I am reading in bed. I have the 3G version and use the 3 G often enough to download new things on the go that I feel like the extra $ was worth it.
