It IS a curse. I wish I cared less about these things.

So I've gone through ten ereader apps including Moon+ and... I'm going to try FBReader for awhile. Or maybe Pocketbook.

None have 100% of the features/customization that I love with the Marvin iOS app, but FBReader seems pretty good. PocketBook has nice settings and exports highlights to html(!!!) but I'm currently having an issue there with holding view settings across books (font, background color) and sometimes the background won't change at all from white, even to one of the app's preset options. After these, I'd still go with Moon+.

I did begin an actual chart (bc I'm ridiculous) but it turned into a lot of 'No'/'Poor' entries.

Highlights from my search:
-FBReader and Pocketbook were the best for minding CSS; smooth page turning, forward/backward within same touch-space
-Pocketbooks got a BIG win for exporting highlights to html; highlighting/notes themselves were also smoother.
-Pocketbook and Aldiko do quick corner bookmarking (I didn't expect that to be exceptional).

-Mantano Free has basically no options, so I imagine Premium must be much better.
-EbookDroid was an interesting option that, to be polite, did not meet my needs.

I checked out Bluefire but I...couldn't import my books? I kept tapping 'Import' and it brought me back to my (empty) bookshelf. So, it may be very good, but I didn't get to test it.

You asked for it. I bolded the things that Moon+ was not doing, but my perfect ereader would: auto-import from a watched folder; have corner bookmarking (seriously, so few apps did this); export highlights to an html file; respect CSS unless set to be overridden/have good formatting options; allow tap/flick in same place to move forward/backward. Those seem....pretty possible to me. You find some but not all of these in the apps I checked today.

If I really could pick anything, I would also like these things (because they exist in Marvin and it was glorious): two-finger controls (up/down warmth settings; left/right fling to next bookmark/end of chapter); anti-bump guard (that is, not being so sensitive to the slightest edge bump and move a million pages (MOON+ READER).

And that's what I did this evening.
