Default Future of the readers

Hi, guys!
I developed and published in AppStore my app "Web Jokes" which is a reader of different feeds with jokes and anecdotes. And I have a question, will readers have a future in AppStore, or is it necessary to develope something like this? Do you often use the rss readers in your life?

By the way, you can try "Web Jokes" and write your opinion or suggestion about it.

I don't know - personally I'd say probably not (no offense). You've created an interface for users to get content that you didn't create, so why not get it from the source for free, you know?

Cause I think all work must be paid. And my idea to create a comfortable interface (as possible as I can) to get a content.

If I want a reader, I'm going to buy a Kindle or a Nook. I don't even see the iPad as a contender, much less the iPhone. Electronic paper was invented for the sole reason that backlit displays are hard on the eyes. The iPad isn't going to change that. For extended reading, I can't stand sitting at a computer or using Kindle or Stanza for my iPod. And, with Kindle and Stanza out there, the competition is pretty steep. Competing with those guys in any meaningful way is going to mean providing access to more than just public domain books from Project Gutenberg.

I have an opposite opinion. Readers appeared cause netbooks were not comfortable for reading. And tablets change this situation and give more. Be sure, Kindle will die soon (I give them 2-3 years). Think more and deepper.
