I know a lot of people love aldiko. I had 2 problems with it. 1) I read a lot in bed, and I don't hold it in such a way that hitting the volume buttons is easy for me. So I tapped the screen, but that kept bringing up the notification bar and that covered the top line of text. 2) I have something like 42 books in my reader right now. (And that's actually low for me.) I read a lot of series books, so I want to be able to find the next book in the series when I'm done with the previous one. The bookshelf that aldiko defaults to defeats me every time. I need to be able to sort by author, but that's a few extra clicks--every single time I go back to the bookshelf.
Moon+ has 3 tabs at the top of the page when you go back to the menu. Local files, Net library, and My Shelf. In My Shelf, there's a shelf at the top with books I'm currently reading and then a clickable menu below that with options: All Books, My Downloads, My Favorites, By Authors, By Tags.
That setup is just more convenient for me with all the extra books, authors, and series that I read. I don't have to go scrolling through shelf after shelf of books on a bookshelf. I don't have to click through a series of menus to get to sort by author or tag. It's just all available to me with one click into the bookshelf.
I think Moon+ is a lot more configurable than aldiko, and it's configurable in ways that work for me, personally. I have nothing against people using aldiko, but I do like to encourage people to try Moon+.
Besides, it scrolls, so now I can lie in bed and not even have to touch the screen for whole chapters while it scrolls quietly ahead of me as I read. It takes lazy reading to whole new levels.
