Thumbs up for Feedly - I also switched when Google Reader went kaput. They also have a newsletter aggregator now. I find their recommended feeds kinda useful as it seems to do a better job these days of determining what I might like from what I usually read. Not perfect, but good enough. For sites that have no/poor RSS support, I wrote a script that I run that simply watches for updates and then generates its own RSS for each of them but there are commercial products that do this like FetchRSS, RSSApp.
Okay, that's great to hear that it's decent at pulling in newsletters right now. Can it handle paid newsletters? Or is it just better at notifying you that a new paid post is up?
Feedly generates it's own email address for you and then that is the email address you use to subscribe. The drawback to this approach is you don't get a copy of the newsletters in your Inbox. To get around that drawback, since most email apps allow you to set incoming rule you continue to use your regular email address and then just setup a forwarding rule to the email address Feedly generated for you.
