The Kindle app doesn't do well when you bring up the font. The paragraphs looks odd on my phone. I find the font rendering on the app not as good as the two mentioned above. The book doesn't look like it does on say your Kindle or K4PC. The font used is not that great for reading either when zoomed in.

On the iOS side, I'm pissed off with Amazon for buying Stanza, the best ereader app on the iPad, then basically letting it die. There has not been an update in forever, bug reports sent to support get no answer or even acknowledgment, no post on the get satisfaction support forum in months. Apparently it does not work with iOS 5 and it's not known at this point if that will get fixed.
I've tried out a bunch of apps and have not found anything as good and customizable. A lot of ereader apps copy ideas from Stanza but still fall far short.
Times like this you see open source software advocates' point.
Sorry for the off topic. Had to get that off my chest.
