Please help me understand the difference between newsreaders (such as NewsRack, Pulse, and Times) as opposed to apps like InstaPaper or Read It Later.

• Which is more beneficial (a newsreader or, say, InstaPaper)?

• If you have a newsreader, do you necessarily need an app like InstaPaper or can you get away with having either or?

• Would it be best to have one of the newsreaders mentioned above "and" an app like InstaPaper?

Last option.

When I'm quickly flipping through stories in a newsreader, sometimes I don't want to take the time to read a long article, especially if it's a "more after the break" setup.

You hit Instapaper (which is integrated in Reeder, my newsreader of choice) and keep powering through your feeds.

My understanding is this is how it was designed to be used.

If I had to have one though, I'd keep the newsreader.
