Flipboard is pretty good.
I've also used 'Early Edition' which fetches your RSS feed into a newspaper like view. Again, its a really nice option for reading RSS feeds. Now I just pick up my iPad and flip through the first few pages of news rather than always trying to bring the Unread count to 0 on Google Reader.
- bigiain 16y agoSeconded. Flipboard is directly responsible for me spending ~$20/month less on magazines. There's a local (motorcycle) magazine which I've bought every (2 weekly) issue for ~12 years, which I haven't bought a single copy of since I installed Flipboard. All the "I've got 10 or 15 minutes spare in a cafe lingering over a coffee or two" reading needs are better met by Flipboard (for me) than AMCN Two Wheels and New Scientist and various other magazines I'd occasionally buy to fill in time. I don't think it's "the future of print media", but I think it's certainly indicative of one direction the future of print media might lie...
