I actually use Google Reader (or Reeder) quite often, but when I want to read a full story I click through to the actual website. 30 seconds later I am finally able to read it. Seems a little excessive.
you can't read the full story on the reader? or by "full story" are u adding in the comments?
I see all of the text of the story, right in the reader.
I'll quite often get a 'Read More' after a paragraph of information. That's usually for stories hosted on crunchgear though.
