We recently reviewed Nextgen Reader for Windows 8 and it’s our favorite client for Google Reader.  They have just released the 1.4 update with various fixes and improvements.

New in v1.4:

• New: Collapsible leftmost pane in 3-column view.
• Added share button to upper right corner in 3-column view.
• Improved accessibility for common actions like sync, mark all read, etc. in modern view.
• Fixed: Display correct image in grid. Report if you notice further issues.
• Fixed: Re-size videos to fit width in reading-pane.
• Minor bug fixes and other tweaks.
• Coming in next update: Support for snapping, portrait orientation, dark theme, etc.
