Other than the Kindle, Kobo and Nook apps:

I use FBReader and highly recommend it for reading anything without DRM. Reads almost all formats you could imagine throwing at it: Epub, mobi, fb2, RTF, Doc, HTML, and txt. With free plugins it also supports pdf and djVu. Epub3 is only partially supported though.

The UI for settings and such isn't the most pretty out there, but it works and you can also access OPDS book sources like Project Gutenberg to download books that are in the public domain.

There is also the FBReader TTS+ plugin for text to speech. (I recommend using this with the IVONA TTS engine which is free).

A lot of people also like Moon+ Reader, but I've never had a need to use it and it seems like a lot of the features included free in FBReader can only be found in the paid version of Moon+...
