One other important thing to add about Google Currents is that depending on how many things you subscribe to, it can add on tons of megabytes to your phone's memory. I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 and I noticed that with my subscriptions and feeds, the Currents app is currently eating up 180 mb of memory on my phone. If that is not a problem for you, then Currents is a nice new format to read info that you receive onfrom your Google reader, but or maybe check out some magazines even. I personallymyself can go without the frills to save that space on my phone for other uses important. I believe in the end, it all just boils down to mepersonal preference .
