Okay. As mentioned, I use Plucker predominantly. One advantage is storage size. Plucker will let me create ebook files with optional gzip compatible compression, resulting in a 70% size reduction, as opposed to the 40% given by the default compression method used by Mobi. That makes the difference between getting everything on a 2GB SD card and having to move to 4GB cards.
Mobi for Palm OS has a quirk or two, like losing track of what category a book has been placed in, but for the most part it works well enough.

They hardly update the windows and mac versions even though they're not really perfected yet... Let alone other OS's!

You mean the National Geographic app? When was the last update?

It's not that I have a problem with it, I just don't know it and have no idea how it would fit me (considering everybody always talks about android together with internet access, which is something I won't have, except some wifi at home).

That's fair.
Most of the Android devices do assume connectivity, via wifi or 3G, but how usable they'll be without it will be a matter of software.
I've no idea if an Android device will fit you. I'm reasonably sure it will fit me because I have some idea of what's available for Linux, and with the flood of Android based devices coming out, if it hasn't been ported yet, it likely will be soon enough.
