Thank you for all the suggestions. Just tried a bunch of readers (Aldiko, Cool, FB, Mantano, Moon+) last night. Mantano is by far the best among the bunch. In fact, I'm liking it much more than Stanza.

It doesn't support OPDS but I could always download content using a web browser. The only reason I needed OPDS support was because that's the only way I could get metadata description/summary with my ebooks in Stanza - not an issue with any of the Android readers I tried since they can all read and display the description from the ePub/OPF just fine. Mantano feels much more polished overall. Rendering is also the closest I've found to ADE and Stanza (the others had some layout issues). Liked it so much I bought after 30 minutes of playing with the trial version. I have to say, it's well worth the $5 I paid for it.
