IMHO, MapleRead is more or less what iBooks should have become by now. MapleRead manifests the design principle of many fine Apple products--offering the most useful functionalities with a friendly and beautiful user interface. MapleRead looks both classic and modern to me, depending on how you configure it.

If it is absolutely no possible for iBooks to show ePub books full screen, is there another ebook reader app which basically does everything the iBooks app does, has a similar, clean design, including
- integration with Share Sheets
- reads PDFs and ePubs as well
- integrates with built-in dictionaries
- note taking, highlighting, bookmarking
+ can show ePub books full screen?

It can be free as well.

Interestingly, the brand new free iPhone app "MapleRead CX" (released just a few hours you posted) more than perfectly matches your listed criteria for an ideal app to replace iBooks, except for the condition you called "integration with Share Sheets". As I recalled, iBooks has no such concept of "share sheet", while it seems that "share sheet" is a Marvin-only jargon.

On the desktop I use Adobe Digital Editions (for what it's worth), for some reason its iOS app has pretty dismal reviews.

It is an irony that while you warn people about Adobe with the link ("Adobe is Spying on Users"), you still use Adobe Digital Editions. Why not use the safer iBooks desktop version? With the size of the desktop, the wide page margin of EPUB books no longer bothers me as much.

I don't know what else is out there worth considering.

Even a fool must know by now.
