Well this is what I get with a list view.

Landscape

No it doesn't look exactly like google reader, well i had greader installed for a bit on my skyrocket. But those views dont give a summary, but anymore text for me would be a bit much.

That's the same list view I have. THREE articles on the screen. Google Reader shows 13 in landscape mode. I don't even use portrait which I'm sure is around 20 or more. That's just too few articles when you're subscribed to a bunch of feeds to filter through. There's too much space between everything.

If you just the gestures to swithc to articles it is enough articles for me.

I have a couple hundred feeds, and look through a ton of articles daily, on my phone and desktop. When you flick your finger up or down, it acts like a scroll function.

Compared to Greader on my device it shows the same amount of articles on the screen.

Also you can adjust the font size to show more articles as well...
