I'm looking for an Android reader app with folder monitoring or auto import. I'm currently using FBReader, which works well, but it's not the easiest thing for my Dad to navigate (he's a luddite who just recently started using computers).

On my computer, I use Calibre's news recipes to automatically download periodicals, and then a program called Belvedere to put specific copies into my dropbox folder. Then on my phone, I use DropSync to automatically synchronize my Dropbox folder with the books directory on my phone.

But as far as I know, only FB Reader automatically recognizes that new content. With every other app I've used (as far as I can tell) I have to manually tell the app to import new books, instead of it recognizing them when they are in my library folder.

Are there any that I'm missing (or perhaps a functionality that I just don't know about activating?)

I'd love to use Moon+, Mantano or PageTurner, because I need the app to support HTML and OPDS.
