I use Moon Reader because I like it's scrolling feature.
emt, thanks for the heads up on the Galaxy Player. I like the Note better because it has a stylus, user-replaceable battery, better screen resolution, and a slightly larger screen. However, if its price remains sky high after it comes to the U.S. I won't be buying it. I will consider the Player or another 5" tablet then. I wonder if someone is going to put out a 6" tablet.

Went over to Amazon to read up on the Galaxy Player 5.0 and it got great reviews. It's also selling now there for $229. Perhaps this is just a temporary Black Friday special.

The 0.3" difference between the screens on the Note and the Player seems to make a difference, at least in this image:



This site has a good comparison of the Note vs. Player vs. iPod Touch:
