Different strokes...
What I like about Coolreader (aside from the two-column landscape mode and the deep customizability) is that I can turn *everything* off; no status bar, no progress bar, no cpu power wasted on animations...
On IQ, it is the closest to FBReader 180.
It took me a bit of effort to find a way to get Aldiko tuned *almost* to my taste. (1.2 second pageturn is too slow. And I dislike its habit of loading only one chapter at a time.
As for no help or doc, well that's par for the course. It's an android app.
(I suspect Google has threatened to sue anybody who dares show hem up by documenting *their* app.
)
In my case, I'm familiar with Coolreader from my time with my BeBook and OpenInkpot.
In case somebody isn't aware of it: it supports arbitrary TrueType and OpenType fonts in the SD card at \fonts. If presented with a full family (italics, bold, bold italic) it will display proper italics, etc. It used to prefer fonts in the family be suffixed with _i, _b, _bi as appropriate.
