Yes, and one of my few wishes for chrome would be something like Firefox' (hidden) "open new windows as background tabs" preference, then using the 'v' key would become an order of magnitude more productive. That's my usual response for TL;DR blog posts. Browse through the whole list with your vi-keys, pick the ones that don't fit (or lose too much essential formatting) for other tabs, skim through the rest within the reader. As opposed to gmail, I could probably switch to something else if it had a half-way decent mobile version. Reeder isn't that essential to me.
