Although the NYTimes Reader is similar to reading it online in a browser, I think they have done a great job implementing an interesting idea. I find the NYTimes Reader to be a much more natural way to read the news. Articles expand automatically if you enlarge the program which leads to much less scrolling and mouse holding, read articles are hidden if you so choose, pictures on the "front pages" are included or excluded depending on how much room you give the program, etc. Overall I am able to get through the news much more quickly with a super-clean, elegant layout devoid of hundreds of distractions, links, etc and a maximum of one unobtrusive ad per page (and only in the articles, none on the "front pages").
