There are a handful of ereader apps for mobile devices, such as FBReader, Go Book Reader, Alkido, Moon+ Reader, and Challenger for Android. But they don't support nearly enough ebook formats. They tend to support a proper subset of:

* ePUB
* MOBI
* PDF
* CBR
* CBZ
* TXT
* RTF
* HTML
* CHM
* FB2

Sure, we could convert many of these using Calibre, but many people desire to keep ebooks in their original formats (e.g., PDFs don't convert well). Wouldn't it be great if we had a mobile Calibre app that could view as many formats as desktop Calibre can? I'd like to use a program called "Calibre" to edit/convert/read ebooks on desktop, Android, and iOS, if possible.
