Just wanted to chime in one this thread, since I purchased Mantano Reader for my Android through the Amazon Appstore about a week ago, and have been having some problems with it.
I was reading an ePUB over the course of a few days, and then unexpectedly, I began getting the "Opening Document Error" message. I was able to delete the book, re-import it and start again, but I lost all of my notes, highlights, and progress.

Now, I started reading another ePUB book (Walden by Thoreau, downloaded via Mantano Bookfinder) and after reading for a few days, I got the same error message as before.

I downloaded two other ePUB readers (Moon Reader and Aldiko) and they both open the file as expected. I've tried clearing the cache for Mantano in my android settings, but that doesn't seem to work. Although I purchased Mantano, I decided to purchase Moon Reader as well, and use that instead since it's the only thing close - and doesn't have this problem.

The actual device is a Barnes & Noble Nook Color, running CM7 Nightly #150. I realize that automatically means I'm probably not supported... but the fact is, other ePUB apps are working fine.

I submitted an official support ticket via the website, and hoping I can figure out a solution. For now, I would have to recommend Moon Reader over Mantano because of this.
