Using Android reading apps on Android ereaders

I have often thought about buying one of the Android-based e-readers, such as the upcoming Onyx Boox Kepler Pro. However, I am concerned about how well the various Android reading apps work on these devices.

My favorite reading app is Google Play Books, and I also like FBReader. With Play Books, I am concerned about the way it handles footnotes, with a preview of the footnote sliding up into the bottom of the screen, then enlarging if you press it again. How well does this function work on Android-based ereaders?

Obviously the apps are not optimized for ereaders, so I have concerns about how well they function. I realize the ereaders may have a "native" program that works quite well, but how well do the other Android reading apps work? I'd hate to buy an ereader then be unable to find a good reading app for it.

Thanks in advance for any information or opinions.
