Pinch zoom is very responsive. Love it.
Was able to install the free version of FBreader which worked fine for epubs. The free version does not allow you to open PDFs.
Also installed the free versions of Librera and Moon+ Reader, both of which allow you to read either epubs or PDFs. Also installed Cool Reader, but haven't played around with it much yet.
Moon+ Reader is so far the only reading app which I have tested which can properly handle furigana when reading in Japanese so it is my go to app for Japanese books. For Chinese books, the native app, Neo Reader V2, works very well.
Was able to install Colordict without any problems and it is working well with Moon+ Reader for looking up words when reading in Japanese.
Haven't tried the dictionary function with any of the other apps apart from the native reading one. Was able to sideload about 7 or so Chinese Stardict dictionaries onto the Note and they work tremendously well with the native reader for looking up unfamiliar words when reading in Chinese.
Right now, it doesn't seem possible to install apps from the Play Store which you have already paid for. Hope they work that out soon as I would like to install the pro version of Moon+ Reader.

Second this. Neo Reader , the stock app, is very good for almost everything. Needs A2 to go through multi-column stuff properly though. Librera e-ink edition slightly better in that regard, but falls short on annotations. The Onyx-modified Kindle apk does not work, but Koreader does. Not much of an improvement over Neo Reader.
