(to be clear, it's not as good as stanza, but it appears -to me anyhow- better than the others i've tried today)

-ps, i'm using this on my iphone...
I've tried just about everything recommended in this thread, except i2reader, only because i2reader costs $5. I even paid for MegaReader, but I'm not sold on MegaReader just yet.

I didn't like Shu book because it does really, really strange things to the epubs I read. For example, I have an epub that has a Foreword when I open it on any other reader. But Shubook only starts at Chapter 1, the entire foreword, cover and everything, is simply missing. It did somethign funny to another book I was looking at but I don't remember the problem any more, and I've deleted the app from my phone.

I want an app that has A) Multiple font options, B) can show the phone Clock while reading, c) has options for justifying/linespacing/margins/indentation. Bluefire or Mega Reader, one of them, shows one of my ebooks shifted to the right. I don't even remember which app it was because I've tried like 7 different ones in the past week. and I swear, nothing does the simple 3 options I want like Stanza did.

ETA: it's Bluefire that shifts several of my ebooks to the right side. I don't know why, the margin is greater on the left side. It bothers me.
