I used these commands to install lightread application. But is says unable to locate the package. How can I install lightread. Am I missing something..?

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cooperjona/lightread
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install lightread

If lightread is not supported in Ubuntu 16.04, please tell me some good alternatives for RSS feed read.

Easy way to install lightread is to check out the source from launchpad and then create your own package on quantal using quickly:

bzr branch lp:lightread
cd lightread
quickly package --extras
sudo dpkg -i ../lighread-`version`.deb

I don't know what the version quickly will spit out, so you'll have to check.

Note: You need to install the bzr and quickly packages, to download and install the source this way.
