I'd installed the Nook reader hoping it would be able to read epubs, CC invokes it but it doesn't open the book.
I guess I'll have to go back to Moon but I'm used to changing pages using the right-left swipe of the Amazon Kindle. Moon purports to support this but I can't get it to recognize the gesture reliably.

Did you read the FAQ answer about K4A? K4A does not advertise that it can handle .mobi, but it does advertise it can handle .pdf. Amazon chose to do this for some reason, probably related to their walled garden. In addition, K4A cannot even open a .mobi if the book file is not in one of the folders K4A uses. That is why the FAQ answer talks about moving the kindle format files to one of the folders that K4A can use, usually /kindle.
As for the nook reader, I don't know. My guess is yet again they have tried to ensure that a user cannot get out of their own ecosystem.
There are several readers that follow android standards. Some are moon+, fbreader, mantano, and cool reader. Aldiko, kobo, amazon, and apparently nook do not.
