Reader app with these features ...

I just pre-ordered the Nexus 7 (2013), which hits the European shelves next week, so I'm curious about e-book reading apps. Is there an app that has these features?

- Displays dynamic page numbers (instead of the static page numbers in epubs).
- Shows how many pages are left in the current chapter.
- Keeps statistics on how much time was spent on a book.
- Predicts the number of remaining hours to finish a book. (This is a gimmick.)
- Plays nicely with Calibre.

Most of those are Kobo features that I have come to appreciate. Everything else I need (notes, bookmarks, epub support) seems to be offered by most of the apps, so I didn't list those separately. The app doesn't need to be free.

I probably won't use the device as my primary reader, but who knows, the dpi is spectacularly high and I may spend more time reading on it than I anticipate.
