I was considering merging my information streams from email and RSS feed (via Google Reader) into just email. One way to do this is to have RSS updates be sent to my email inbox directly. After some googling, the one service I like is feedmyinbox [http://www.feedmyinbox.com/]. They allow users to have RSS feed updates for each email address. Paid accounts have this limit removed and enjoy some other benefits like real-time notifications.
After some testing, I decided to stay with having email as well as RSS feed. With Google reader and services like Full Text RSS Feed Builder [http://fulltextrssfeed.com/], I am able to read the complete article from within Google reader. Furthermore, I often save articles with Pocket [http://getpocket.com/] to read articles offline on my iPod Touch. The latter benefits outweigh the benefit of having everything in my email inbox.
