FBReader:

Respects hard page breaks, centred text, font changes, etc, but (a killer) ignores first-line text indents .

OnyxReader:

The best of the bunch. Respects all formatting, but pictures blow up with font size and overflow the page.

Cool Reader:

Centred text is not centred. Italics are ignored. Page breaks are shown properly.

The only half-way decent reader among them is OnyxReader, to my mind.
I wonder if it's there version of Alreader - I've just started using it, but most things seem to work. Problem is that you can't install the Google play version of any of their installed reader apps without rooting.
