"With comments" is crucial for me. Or at least, "with notification that there are, or are not, comments." The blogosphere is a social place; I don't want to download 20 interesting posts and have no idea which ones are being discussed, and which ones are just being absorbed. Some interesting LiveJournal posts will have several hundred comments.

And I'm aware that's not obvious coding; different blogs have different methods for comments. But I'd pay for a subscription to the ability to put in a dozen or so blog URLs into a list, and get back an HTML file with all of their most recent posts with comments. Potentially, to get the HTML of the posts without comments, although that's less useful to me.

(Hmm. Should contact code-happy friends and talk to them about putting together this ability.)
Doesn't Google Reader tell you how many comments are there?
