Help for people overwhelmed by to many articles at once
I use the "All Items" screen to read articles, and while it works, I get overwhelmed easy when I have hundred of articles to look thru and see which I want to read or not. When in list view where you only see the title of the article can you added a option to see only like 10 articles at a time and when you click next to the next group the last 10 are marked as read. Maybe even a option to mark articles into a holding area, so after I quickly skim thru several hundred articles, I can…

minimize google account access levels requested for login
If i look in my google profile, at the list of services authorized to access my account, most if not all sites that uses open ID for login only require 'Sign in using your google account'.
Your site requires more - 'Google+ You'.
If you truly only need openid login (you have marked http://theoldreader.uservoice.com/forums/187017-feature-requests/suggestions/3743312-allow-me-to-authenticate-via-google-without-giving as completed, after all) please only require that level of access. It is good that you stopped requiring access to contacts, but not enough.3 votes -
use a bold typeface for folders. And not a grey colour either. You know, just to make them stand out a little bit more....
At the moment, folders heading just kinda recede in the background.... It would be nice for that not to happen.

"Mark all from source as read" Near feed title on items when browsing All items or Unread folder
When I'm scrolling unread items in the All items section or in a folder of feeds I'd like the option to mark all from a certain source as read aside from the "Mark all as read" button which marks all feeds in the folder as read... This would save time by not needing to expand the folder, search the list, open the individual feed, mark all as read, then go back to the overall folder view...

uncomment apple-mobile-web-app-capable
Currently you've commented
<!--<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes" />
<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-status-bar-style" content="default" />-->
in the source. I bet there's a god reason for it, but still, I'd like it to be uncommented ;)1 vote -
eliminate redundancies between shares and reshares
I feel like I read the same shared article every time it's re-shared, which fills my following folder with unwanted redundancy. I only want to read something once, unless it has received new comments. Can an item have an original sharer and a list of resharers (without violating people's privacy concerns, obvs)

Create a "current post" indicator
Google Reader uses a [blue] highlight on the left border of a post to indicate which one is the current, that will receive all the actions from keyboard shortcuts (un/like, un/share, mark as un/read, ...)
Currently, The Ol' Reader uses instead a [green] highlight on the left border to indicate if the post is marked as un/read and, as far as I can tell, considers the top-most (partially or completely) visible post as the current one. This happens even if the user is using "list" mode and any other post, that is not the first, is the one actually expanded…

Limited text width to improve readability
Google Reader uses a max width for entry text, presumably to improve readability. This makes it easier to read posts, as the eye does not need to move across as much of the screen to get to the next line. Essentially it makes the text width similar to a novel.
.entry .entry-body, .entry .entry-title {
max-width: 650px;

Unload posts that have been scrolled out
It looks like google reader unloads posts that the user have scrolled out. This helps to maintain low memory usage and stops any running audio/video embeds. We should try to do this as well.
