i have mantano installed on both tablets now - looking good so far.
when I'd checked it out a while ago i'd only looiked at the free lite version & it seemed to lack a lot of what I wanted, but then I looked more carefully at what is in each version....
so my current personal android epub reader rankings are

1. mantano
2 kobo
3. moon

I looked at aldiko also, but did not get beyond it failing to show the covers, I was seeing 2- 3 empty pages at the start of each test book, where the cover should have been Other reviews suggest it also picks n chooses what CSS to honour, like moon does.

there are other options, but I skipped looking at most of the free stuff as I don't want an ad supported reader & because I figured you get what you pay for ( Kobo being an exception to that as they are giving you the app hoping you will then shop at their store)

I read good things about an app called Marvin - but that is only on apple devices.

moon + pro has 2 arguably relevant settings - one icon called preview /show publisher styling - but that is all or nothing - you cannot then set margins , line spacing, etc and it looked truly awful for my test books.. and one called disable CSS overrides, which allows a degrere of fine tuning, but not enough....
