This is my first post in this forum, because I wanted to weigh in on Moon+ Reader as well. I know this thread is old, but I hope it is still visited from time to time.
I discovered Moon+ quite a while ago, and it is my "daily reader." The visual presentation is the best of all the readers I've used (and I've used quite a few). Smooth scrolling and pagination, eye-strain protection by enforcing periodic breaks, and the many built-in themes to adapt the screen to whatever environment I'm in all make this the best reading experience.
I've been creating my own e-books that I use in my classes, and another thing I've discovered is that Moon+ handles certain features that I build in to those books very well. For example, I place an audio file within some of my listening/reading ebooks, and Moon+ is the only reader I've found that plays the audio and spans it over each page displayed, using a convenient play control bar at the bottom. (Other readers either don't play the audio--I think that's an ebook3 function--or they might play it on the same page as the link, but changing the page causes the playback to stop.) Moon+ will also play some videos embedded in the ebook.
Now the downsides. I have one book that contains an audio file--fine so far--but also has tables within it. Moon+ absolutely does not support those tables. Sigh.
Another downside, is that Moon+ insists on displaying using some predetermined font method. So I have one ebook which contains a simulated newspaper clip, formatted in Times New Roman, indented paragraphs, and different font sizes for the headline, subheading, and body of the article. Moon+ displays this as Ariel-style font only, standard paragraph spacing and font sizes. I've tried it both with "Disable CSS styles" checked AND unchecked in the miscellaneous options section.
But for daily reading of my ebooks, whether on the road or comfortably ensconced in my home, Moon+ is my absolute choice.
