One of my millstones is feed reading. I track over 1,000 feeds regularly. I also like to share the articles that pique my interest on my publicly-accessible Shared Page using the Share feature in my feed reader of choice, Google Reader; sadly, I can’t do that directly from Google Mobile Reader, which is a bummer since I do most of my reading via my Nokia n800 using Mobile.

Reading feeds needs to be easy and I have cottoned to reading my feeds on my Nokia n800’s browser via Wi-Fi using Google Reader’s Mobile Reader.

It is perfect and I don’t have to always crack open my laptop.

Unfortunately, when reading feeds via Mobile Reader, I’m only allowed to “Star” the articles I like but I can’t “Share” them from the Mobile Reader interface.

In order to send the articles to my shared page, I need to go back to my browser and share all of the starred articles, which I don’t do all the time.

This means that by the time I share the starred articles, they’re old. So, come on, Google, just add another button to the Mobile Reader.

It’s wafer thin!

  1. I really don’t get on with Mobile Reader on my N800 - too primitive. I use readermini.com which provides a much better interface to Greader. You should give it a try.

  2. Thanks! I am trying out ReaderMini.com right now — thanks for the advice!

  3. How do I read “all” of the feeds? All of the unread feeds and not just based on categories?

  4. I don’t think you can. I’ve not noticed this until you mentioned it. There are a few little issues with mini, but it beats mobile hands down.
