Reader has widget much like the Gmail and Calendar widgets while Currents doesn't. Though the Currents app does look a lot prettier (with scrolling images of new posts in your subs), you have to read it like a book by swiping side to side while Reader is traditional scrolling. Seems to be mostly UI differences though. Thanks for the answer. | |

Just found it weird to have both apps from Google do the same thing though I see that Reader is more flexible since you can use it on a computer. | |
