Hi guys,

I have been playing around with all different methods of reading news on the iPad but so far have not found my ideal solution.

Currently Flipboard is my favourite way to browse news but sometimes it displays repeated articles and different news sources are displayed separately.

I have seen good reviews about Reeder on the iPad but haven't managed to get into RSS. Last night I tried to set up google reader but the GUI is not too great.

Ideally I'd like something like google reader that accumulates news but has a nice, friendly, welcoming user interface, something that I will enjoy using. Offline reading will also be handy so I can read it on the tube.

Please let me know how you guys get news on the iPad so I can get closer to my ideal solution!
 
Thanks for the input guys, I'll subscribe to a few things on google reader then will have to decide between Reeder and Mr Reader!
 
I purchased Mr Reader last night and have enjoyed using it so far.

What are good news feeds? Currently I am subscribe to bbc, Reuters and the guardian. There are so many articles a day how do keep up? Also how do you stop duplicate articles from appearing? Eg breaking coming from all three sources? I know that google reader has bundles eg news bundle, but with so many feeds isn't it too much to go through? And won't a lot be duplicated stuff?
 
I did like Flipboard initially but then found it a bit too overwhelming, so many articles on a page then repeated articles over the next few pages. It's a great app with a brilliant UI but it didn't tell me when a new article was posted I just had to keep checking.

Am finding RSS pretty good, especially with Mr Reader. Just trying to find a way to get News feeds manageable, Reuters UK is not bad, it doesn't post as much as BBC.

The BBC site lets you subscribe to sub-categories (you can find an RSS feed in almost every page) so just pick out the ones you like e.g. I have Magazine, Technology, Formula 1 and Business. It's the same for the Guardian.

Some other good feeds you might like:

In Focus (news picture summaries)
Daily Dose of Imagery
First Showing (film news)
Anandtech
Engadget

(Sorry on my iPad so hard to provide links, just google them)
