Hi.
 
If you have a recent version of JAWS or Window-Eyes, Version 7 of JAWS, or
Version 5.5 of Window-Eyes, the best RSS reader, unless you want Outlook
integration, in my view, is Firefox.  Try Firefox as a browser too, it is
faster than IE, and the tabbed pages are a breeze.
 
All the best

I'm currently using newsgator www.newsgator.com and finding it really
userfriendly. at present I only use the free web interface but there are pay
for add-ons such as read your feeds in Outlook. they've recently made a few
changes to the structure of the service making it even more accessible - I
particularly like being able to gather feeds in to folders and sub folders
and then quickly wisk through all stories in a given category without
evening having to be aware of which source they came from. you can also
archive stories of interest in your clippings area.
 
previously I used accessible rss reader but found it very unstable once you
subscribe to more than 15 or 20 feeds.
