I use Gravity as a reader and have it set up so the new post shows up in
larger type and a different color than quoted material. I keep the
cursor down in the lower right corner of the screen and push my mouse
button to scroll quickly. To skip to the next article I hit the "N" key
on the keyboard then tap the mouse a couple of times and scroll till I
see the bright red 16 point text

Takes a second or so in most cases to
get to the new text..
