Will Google reader die this July and what next

Google has announced the list of services they will be axing this summer and surprisingly Google Reader is one of those. Personally I was not expecting Google to take that move because still it has got a good number of followers. I might not be using Google reader directly but I do use it to subscribe and then sync it to my preferred news readers on my mac or the tablet or even in the phone. In the recent few years Google has noticed a decline in the number of users, that may be because of the usage of the service in a similar way like I do, instead of visiting Google reader's site better of getting the news downloaded to the readers or importing subscription list to other services.
