Does the Jetpack Plugin Install the 'Reader' Function from WordPress.com?

Hi,

I’m about to setup a new WordPress site. I previously owned a WordPress.com site which gained popularity due to the ‘Reader’ section. Does Jetpack allow me to add this reader section to my blog if I were to setup a www.ads-software.com site?

I’m eager to setup a .org site as it allows full customisation but without access to the reader section, I’d probably stay with .com.

Quick thought: one of the main reasons my previous .com site gained a following through the reader section was because I engaged with fellow bloggers sites – posting comments, liking posts etc etc. Basically, all I would need is access to the Reader section, if my posts don’t appear there it may not be a problem if I am able to have access to engage with bloggers?

Thanks in advance,
Keith.
