But some do it better than others.

There are many different criteria people look at when selecting a reader: number of feeds, sync with Google, formatting, etc. But to me the ability to get at the full article quickly, if that's what I want to do after reading the partial feed, is one of the more important ones. I like Pulse in this regard since it anticipates what I want to do fairly well.

The standard display in Pulse is a box with a photo from the story (if it's part of the feed) or the first line or two of text. It displays about 16 of those. When you select one of the boxes you then get the "full" partial feed. But also, as soon as you do that, it starts loading the website in the background just in case you want to select that tab to read the full article.

Pulse is not the only RSS reader that does this but it's the one I use and it does it well..

Any reader that tries to grab the full story for each feed right off the bat, would be a very slow app.
