As Dale says, the Tablet enhanced version of MS Reader is certainly worth having, if you read LIT ebooks (DRM or not). For reading many other non-DRM ebook formats, you also want FBReader. It doesn't support style sheets, but everything is highly customizable, so you can make the text look any way you want.

The other advantage of installing MS Reader is that if you have to buy ebooks with DRM, you can buy the LIT version, remove the DRM with Convert LIT and convert the HTML to something else. You can also read the straight HTML in FBReader. Note that if you Zip up several related HTML files, FBReader can open the Zip file.

Note to moderators: as I have given no more details about removing DRM than JSWolf has on many occasions, there should be no reason to edit this post.
