Anyone using Google Play:Books for Epubs?
I have found that I much prefer Google Play:Books for reading ePub format books over Moon Reader Pro on my Lenovo Tablet and Samsung G5 Smartphone. I started looking about because, Moon Reader has gotten kind of sluggish on both my tablet and smartphone. Page turns are obnoxiously slow any more.

It offers a very "Kindle" like experience but with the added benefit of making it a bit easier to read titles not purchased from Google, and with a bit more easy control reading third party published books on Kindle. I just upload the epubs to Google Drive from Calibre, click on the ePub, and tell it to open in Google Play:Books.

It has made me rethink my excessive reliance on Amazon Kindle and has made ePubs a more pleasant experience overall.

About the only thing i'm likely to use Moon reader pro for any more is when I want to read with scrolling. At times, turning pages can be VERY oppressive!
