I tried the Moon+ app today, but I uninstalled it after about 5 minutes.

Whereas the Aldiko app seemed really easy and intuitive, I felt like it was much harder to figure out how to do anything with Moon+. (Yes, I can be pretty impatient!) Even the first screen of options that I got with Moon+ had me scratching my head (no idea what the different graphics were meant to illustrate regarding page turns, or layout, or ...?). Also, Moon+ didn't automatically adjust the screen orientation as Aldiko did, it was harder to change font size in Moon+, and Moon+ had annoying little ads (so small, yet so distracting!) while Aldiko didn't. Everything in Aldiko simply seemed more sensible.

So now I'm soured on testing the other apps--I think I'll stick with Aldiko unless I run into some specific shortcoming.

Thanks to everyone for the invaluable input!
