Remember where I left off
Very simple: Reader should remember where I left off in reading my feeds (either automatically or by letting me put a "pin" on the last item I looked at). When I return to Reader next time, it should show only the items I haven't viewed yet, with the oldest at the TOP (since I want to scan in chron order). Whatever feeds were published before the one I pinned should automatically be marked as read.
Currently, when I come back to Reader the first thing I have to do is scroll and scroll to find the oldest of my unread items. Then I scroll UP to read the feeds. This is stupid. (Oh, and Twitter, Facebook, and all blogs should do this too. :-)

Inappropriate?Well, first of all, Reader has an option called "In expanded view, mark items as read when you scroll past them" so when you read the posts, they are automatically marked as read when you scroll to the next one. You can sort your feeds from oldest to newest. That way you will be able to read in the chronological order. And last, you can select to show only unread feeds. That way you will always start from the first (oldest) unread post. Hope that helps.

Inappropriate?Understood, but I prefer not to use expanded view. I still think my solution has merit as a general interaction pattern. -
Inappropriate?As a workaround, I'm using Better GReader. With it, I can "Mark Until Current As Read".
I would much prefer a "native" feature for this, since the workaround is slow and hacky.
I prefer list view because it's faster to scan the headlines with that. I only open articles that are potentially interesting based on their headline.
