There are quite a few reader apps in Android that on the surface fit your bill. I use
Moon+Reader Pro and it supports epub, pdf, mobi, chm, cbr, cbz, umd, fb2, txt, html, rar, zip or OPDS formats. I only use it for epub so I can't speak to how well it handles the other formats. A couple of key points about the app.
• Support online ebook libraries and
personal calibre ebook server.
• Backup/Restore options to cloud via DropBox, sync reading positions between phones and tablets.
I also bought a Nexus 7 android tablet specifically because I knew that chaley and his son were developing Calibre Companion (it was in beta at the time). I previously had Sony ereaders and chaley put most all of the fine touches on that driver that caused the Sony devices to be better integrated with calibre than any other devices. He also did most of the implementation of the template language and the metadata plugboards, so I had no doubt that the integration of CC with calibre would be exactly what I was looking for. I wasn't disappointed. I use CC to manage the books on my tablet and launch the books in whichever reader app I choose.
Good luck with your search.
