I love reading from my Galaxy Note, and can do it for hours.

After much experimentation I settled on Moon+ Pro reader. I also did a lot of experimentation on colorschemes, only to arrive at completely black text on a completely white background (and reversed night view), which gives a very clear picture in almost all circumstances except direct sun on the screen. The adjustable brightness is used to reach optimal visibility. Only problem with a white background is that it uses far more juice then a black background, since the Note has an OLED display.
screen setting is dynamic/max brightness/no auto-adjust.

for me the Note was an answer to a prayer; before it came out, I found smartphones had a too small too low-res screen to use as a book reader. The Note changed all that. Since it also has a very decent sound quality, good video recording functions, excellent GPS possibilities and reasonable picture quality, and great organiser options it replaced a lot of electronics I used to carry around; now my Note is the only device I need when I step out of the door. Indoors I alternate between my Ipad4 and the Note for ereading.
