I've been using Flipboard[1] on the iPad to read pic heavy subreddits that I don't necessarily want to see everything from but like to browse from time to time. Yahoo pipes[2] turns the subreddit's top stories .json representation into an RSS feed, and then Twitterfeed[3] posts that RSS feed to a custom twitter account which I can then follow on Flipboard. I got this setup from http://miguelrios.org/reddit-in-flipboard/ and a handy trick is to combine subreddits. So for example I have the 'SFW Porn Network' reddits all combined using the + e.g., /r/earthporn+cityporn+... etc. [1]: http://flipboard.com/ [2]: http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/ [3]: http://twitterfeed.com/

Don't know if this will help at all, but you can append .rss/.json/ to any reddit URL. e.g:

http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/.rss http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/.json
