Best ebook reader on M96?

Hi all,

I realise there are a bunch of threads recommending e-readers, but none of them gave all the info. Essentially I am looking for a (single or set of) e-readers for the M96.

Criteria:
- must be navigable by the joystick
- ebook sections (for reading RSS feeds in ebook format) should ideally be navigable via the joystick
- full screen would be nice (turn off header and footer)
- no page-turn animations
- support for user provided fonts

Of the ones that come out of the box (why did they ship so many?), the closest I have found is OnyxBook.

I did check out the others that were installed (OReader, FBReader, Onyx Neo Reader) and all of them seem quite weak in one way or another. For example:
- OReader has an excellent TOC for sectioned+article ebooks but it needs the stylus. It also can't style them very well either.
- FBReader is just messy. It also crashed a few times
- Onyx Neo Reader is quite similar to OnyxBook but for some reason the section and article headings are inverted.

For now, I guess I will stick with OnyxBook. If I could add the TOC navigation from OReader, make it joystick friendly and add it to OnyxBook then that would make my day .

What do you all use?

Thanks!
