Well, I think I just discovered the holy grail of feed readers. (Seriously. After I started using it, I texted Liz twice to say you have to get this!)
RSS5000 is a handy, smart iPad app that works with your Google Reader account to allow you to read your blogs like you’re flipping through a magazine.
If you were a Bloglines user like me, it will take you a few seconds to send all your old feeds over to a free Google Reader account, or if you already use Google Reader, you’re ready to go!). Then you purchase RSS500, login with your Google Reader information, and viola – all your blogs and websites are right there! Just click on the post you want to read, and it pops open right on your screen as if you were reading it on the blog itself. Then, simply swipe the page to see the next post in your queue.
RSS5000 can be a little slow to load, but not to the point of being annoying. What’s particularly great is that there are no weird headers, funky excerpts or formatting issues at all. In a word – heavenly. -Kristen
You can purchase RSS5000 for $4.99 at the iTunes store. And yes, it’s worth every penny.

Thank you! You may have alleviated some of my personal blog reading shame. Can’t wait to try it!
Oh, I don’t know. Early Edition is also a really cool reader for the iPad. Works amazingly well. Looks like a newspaper and is easy to keep up with. If only I’d remember to open it once in a while.
Just one more reason (but, a REAL big one) for me to, you know, get an iPad already 😉
thank you! I was just looking at feed readers the other day and wished I could get a personal reccomendation. Looking forward to this app!
