[kwlug-disc] Good RSS/iCal readers (all platforms)

I use Liferea <http://lzone.de/liferea/> on my desktop as well as Feedly 
<https://feedly.com/i/welcome> (web based with an android app).  I 
migrated to these two after Google Reader and haven't had any issues 
with either.  Thunderbird can also act as a feed reader - though I 
haven't tried it in that capacity.
