Just wondering if anyone pays for Feedly Pro and if you find it beneficial over the free version. I want to be able to read my RSS feeds offline on the commute to work and love the layout of feedly etc but not sure its worth paying for pro to be able to read them offline?
Feedly RSS

I use Feedly, but don't pay for pro version, so enjoy the reader, but have not seen any requirement to upgrade to pro.

I am at the stage of migrating off from Feedly to Tiny Tiny RSS (tt-rss.org), due to Freely mangling article URLs to point to itself. It's a self-hosted version of web based reader. Open source, PHP + MySQL or PostgreSQL. Nice web based UI. As you are Power "Penguin" you shouldn't have issue getting it installed :)
It also has an Android app with offline reading capability. However it's not free, not cheap either (as an app), but still cheaper than feedly pro.
I don't use Feedly, so can't help you with your specific question, but I did at one point try a variety of RSS readers and just ended up gravitating back to the integrated feed reader in the Opera Mini Android browser for most of my feed reading, be it on phone or tab. So easy and nice, in fact, that I've pretty much left desktop feed-reading behind.
I also watch alot of Youtube videos on mobile, and giving the terrible unreliability of Youtube's subscription feed in recent times, subscribing to the gdata upload feed for individual channels has alerted me to dozens of videos that I would otherwise have missed.
That aside, you might want to try mirroring your feeds - for the purposes of your commute. The simplicity and data compression of Opera Mini makes for a better than good option.
When you encounter a link that won't render or play properly, you can always save it to Pocket, or similar, for later.
