I have a Galaxy Tab that I have been doing a bit of reading on.

The default pre-installed reader opens with library shelves that look exactly like what I have seen on iPads. It also does landscape, with 2 pages and yes, does, the animated flip of pages. However, I don't like it. Books take around 5-10 seconds to open up.

Cool Reader is quite nice, with a ton of options, including different textured backgrounds. Opens pretty fast and I do like it. Does not appear to do landscape with 2 pages though, but it does a bunch of pageflip animations.

My fave though is FBReader. Super fast to open, lots of settings/options and is a no muss no fuss reader. Again, not sure about the landscape stuff as I don't like reading that way on the portrait oriented Tab.

Need to check out Aldiko though - lots of good feedback on that thing.

hth, FWIW,
