I use the mobile version on my laptop because it's so much easier to use (http://www.google.com/reader/i/). I also wrote a quick Javascript hack that makes the font bigger because for some reason the cries of the visually impaired fall on deaf ears at Google and Flipboard:
javascript:(function(){ var newsize = '24px'; var divs = document.getElementsByTagName('div'); for(i=0;i<divs.length;i++) divs[i].style.fontSize=newsize; var divs = document.getElementsByTagName('a'); for(i=0;i<divs.length;i++) divs[i].style.fontSize=newsize; var divs = document.getElementsByClassName('item-snippet'); for(i=0;i<divs.length;i++) divs[i].style.fontSize=newsize; var divs = document.getElementsByClassName('text'); for(i=0;i<divs.length;i++) divs[i].style.fontSize=newsize; var divs = document.getElementsByClassName('item-title-collapsed'); for(i=0;i<divs.length;i++) divs[i].style.fontSize=newsize; var divs = document.getElementsByClassName('entry-contents-inner'); for(i=0;i<divs.length;i++) divs[i].style.fontSize=newsize; })()
