Mantano Premium and Moon+ Pro are popular with a lot of folks around here. Other popular ones are Aldiko, FB Reader and Coolreader, along with various store apps and the OverDrive app if your local library happens to offer ebooks through them.

2. What e-book format(s) are the best for Android apps? Most of my books are in .lrf, .epub, .lit, .pdf, .rtf, and .txt formats.
|
I think ePub is probably the most popular. PDF works pretty well on tablets and RTF & TXT shouldn't be a big problem. Can't think of anything that supports lrf or lit, but Calibre can convert those.

3. Someone told me there is a Calibre app for Android. Can that be used as a reader app? I LOVE my Calibre program for my computer.
|
Not a reader app. Calibre Companion acts as a great way to browse/store books and is a great way to transfer stuff wirelessly.

4. There is a Kindle icon pre-loaded on my tablet. Would that be a reader app? If so, what formats are supported?
|
It supports AZW/Mobi format and AZW3/KF8 (and a few other Amazon formats).

As an aside, are there any general tutorial sites, to help a novice get familiar with her new Android tablet? As always, I am grateful for your help and advice.

I'd checkout some videos on YouTube.
