As has been pointed out, update when a new feature strikes your fancy.

With folks often having more than one tablet or ereader in the household, calibre is indispensable as a ebook converter / manager. On Android devices combine calibre with
Calibre Companion and a good
Reading App and your bases are covered

I only read on my tablet. Calibre's reader is quite flexible and does have bookmarks but no note taking ability. If your on a PC there are other options to accomplish this task. It doesn't seem that there is a universal standard for annotations for ebooks yet.

The
first post of the thread you link to has a description of over 30 Android reading apps (the first post listing items pertaining to the thread title is common for threads of this type), check it out.
I find it strange that even though many folks responded to
your request (which was in the thread you pointed folks to, not the thread you linked to above), you haven't responded to the thread with any interest or further questions. Have you investigated any of the suggestions yet?
As a side note I use
PStart (Portable Start) to integrate third party apps with my PortableApps menu, see attached.
Good Luck.
