So I've recently started using a windows 8 tablet and I've been having problems finding a reader I LIKE for use with my ebooks. All my books are PDF or epub. While the "desktop" experience of calibre is as good as usual I find I can't use the reader itself - too awkward for the tablet. But if I try using the various readers available from the windows store they keep trying to copy the book to their own library (resulting in duplicates). So far had the best experience with book bazaar. Why epub isn't native to the built in reader is beyond me.

Anyone else been trying out win 8 tablets? What's your experience been like? Any suggestions/opinions on reader apps (or the overall experience)?
