Flipboard is a great platform for reading with its well-designed interface and access to a whole range of websites. One issue users may experience with Flipboard, however, is pages not loading fast enough (or in countries like China) won't load at all after you click an article. A popular alternative is Taptu, a newsreader comparable to Flipboard in functionality and coverage. Although it lacks the visual aesthetics of Flipboard, Taptu aggregates articles fairly quickly and is able to display content (even from restricted sources) by pulling up minimal text and images - an advantage for readers who prefer just the essentials.
Note: In Shanghai, I found Taptu worked much better in pulling up content than Flipboard, though Flipboard was still usable and still worth installing on my iOS devices. Pulse, another popular iOS app for reading online articles, couldn't pull up any content at all due to China's Great Firewall.
