The FBReader version for Android is FBReaderJ. It's a port of FBReader to Java, and lags the PC version in features.

Cause I use it on my computer, and its got total overkill in choices on how you want to look at your books, from size to alignment to indentation, any font you got installed, it'll use, you can increase or decrease margins, and make any custom keyboard shortcuts imaginable.

I use it here, with the key attractions being support for ePub, Mobi, and Plucker files, and the fact that it's cross platform and there are versions for Windows and Linux.
(My standard ebook reader is the open source Plucker offline HTML viewer on a Palm OS device, and I roll my own ebooks by converting HTML source. I have about 4,000 documents in Plucker format, and being able to read them outside of Plucker was a major win.)

Have any of you tried Barns and noble's eReader application, or is there no Android version yet?

However, its got one brilliant feature: if you have a supported dictionary installed, you get a lookup right in your book, without having to leave or even change pages.
Are you aware of any other readers that have that?

MobiReader has a lookup feature if you have a compatible dictionary installed, but it's specific to MobiPocket formatted documents.
