I installed Flipboard while looking for a replacement for the old Google Currents widget on my Nexus 7. Fb might be better for content, or not, but I still really miss the other widget. Swiping through headlines in Currents was almost fun, and I could preselect for content sources that would be available to read offline.
Ultimately, most of the content that's available is unremarkable, so I tend to be very critical of the overall experience of consuming it. Conversely, a source that makes even modest improvements in efficiency or presentation can instantly become part of my daily routine. The old Currents was far from perfect, but at least it felt like progress.
