fredb, you should really try FBReader, it's great and offers lots of options. I too was skeptical at first because at the beginning, it's far less pretty than the default reader. However, once you go to Preferences, where you are able to fine-tune it exactly as you like, you'll see that it can be better than the default reader if you like being able to customize the way your books are displayed.

For instance, FBReader allows for setting the four margins exactly as you like, display your text in bold or italic font, change the way the titles are displayed, change the space between the lines to compress or expand text, offers far more text sizes than just the four options of the default reader, etc. !

Not all options are useful but surely among all of them you'll find some that'll make you think "this app is great !". Plus, FBReader can interact with some other apps out there, most notably StarDict (dictionary app).

So you should really, really give it a try. It doesn't cost anything and having FBReader on your SDCard to use it occasionnally does not in any way prevent you to still use the default reader.
