I really like Reeder for iPad - it's certainly one of the best solutions is you want to follow your suscriptions from Google Reader.
But Read is something that is more relaxed - more casual. There's no unread counter, you just pick it up and find interesting content. And there's the fact that their API is still unofficial. I did consider it for a long time, but in the end, I decided against it.

Please reconsider. Being able to sync my feeds with other apps is very valuable to me.
The reason I use it is, Google is doing RSS aggregation really well. It is robust, fast and gets the pubsubhubbub pushes really quick so that I can see new stuff in seconds.
I think this app can be great with Google Reader integration, because it has a better UI than Reeder for iPad. But I think many people don't trust adding hundreds of RSS feeds to a mobile device instead of a cloud-hosted service (Google Reader).
Good app, you're doing good.
