I use iBooks. I tried it after first buying the mini and never looked back. While others call it simple, it has what I need, looks very nice and in fact has features that other more popular apps seem to lack (though I admit, I haven't looked around in awhile).

iBooks also, with ios7, now features multiple dictionaries including for several languages! While its one former dictionary was well enough (since it's so easy to just jump to the internet now to search for a really pesky definition if needed), having all these options are great, especially the Oxford dictionary which I really like and had really missed after leaving my Sony 950 for the iPad mini.

One very, very important feature for me in an app is highlights and annotations. iBooks does this very well, and gives me a way to export them very nicely. I'm curious because I haven't looked in awhile - do any other apps do this well? I'm not interested in "yes, but..." where the functionality is limited, but if another app does actually have a well-formed feature of this, I'd give it a look, even though I'm perfectly content with iBooks. But I am curious why Marvin is so popular.
