I am going on a long plane ride. I have tagged about 100 blog post with "To Read" and if possible, I would like to somehow download them locally so I can read then all on the plane.
Is there anyway to do this?
Tell me more

Install Gears if you use Firefox or Internet Explorer (it's built into Chrome so there's no need to install anything). After installing Gears, when you visit Google Reader, you'll notice a small green arrow in the upper right corner. Click that and go into offline mode.
It will automatically start syncing all your feeds, not just the ones you've marked to read (for me it started downloading about 2000 items, but that's because I've got a lot of unread stuff). The nice part about Gears is that you can use it for Gmail as well. Once you turn on the Offline Gmail option on in Labs, you can use Gmail offline, right from your browser. |

You can use a Windows application FeedDemon. They have an equivalent Mac application NetNewsWire and the same one for iPhone. |

You can use an RSS reader app (like Feed Demon). At the bottom of your GReader page, click "Manage Subscriptions" then click "Import/Export" and "Export your subscriptions as an OPML file". OPML is an XML representations of all the groups you are subscribed to. Import it into your RSS reader and you can view feeds offline. As an added value, you've just backed-up you RSS subscription list, in case of a Google "disaster" :). |

Google Chrome is a faster browser than firefox, and has gears built in. It was specifically designed to handle reader/gmail/other googley apps. Might be worth a look. |

Another application to consider is RSS Bandit |

You can use "Add to Read It Later" on Google Reader and use Read It Later to read them offline.>>> |
