Apology accepted. I know how you normally post, and it threw me off a bit - but I did try to answer calmly. If i failed, I apologize myself.
You mentioned organizational lack of Kindle app (yes it is really bad) almost same could be said about coolreader unless you organize in folders. It only reads folder structure - which can be a big plus if you want to drag and drop a organized folder system directly onto tab/phone. Another very popular reader is Aldiko, which has a fancy shelf (the usual wood kind) and can organize into collections. There is however no tts support. Advantage of Aldiko is support for adobe drm, even though drm support or lack thereof is just a minor nuisance if you got Alf, Mary, or Jesus as friends. I kinda like Aldiko, but the main reading screen in full-screen is always only text - which might be fine most of the time. Coolreader for instance lets you optional show a header with title, author, position (in % or page) and time + battery meter - if setup with a small font (mine is 12 point i think) the header is really small and blends in better than running in non-full screen with normal Android header.
