It is truly amazing how "intense" discussions can get about the merits of particular reader apps, especially CSS handling.

And of course the same things I mentioned above are still valid. I know of no reader app that gives you access to all of calibre's metadata.
I'm one of those who prefers different apps for different formats while still wanting to be able to see all my reading material in one place. I also have a number of 'empty' books as placeholders for my paper books in CC.

This way I can use CC to sort through all my books on a particular subject/genre and either long-press a book to be automatically opened by my preferred reader, go into metadata and select a different reader, or in the case of paper books go and fetch it from the shelf.
