The apps are OK, but again, not as full featured as others.

My experience too. FBReader on iOS is rather weak compared to its Android version, in fairness that's probably because it's in an early stage of development. I went ahead and paid for a copy because I like the Android version and want to support the developer in this cross-platform effort. He's doing it right. I have tried Google Books too, it's reliable and does everything well, but has a limited feature set and of course cannot read anything Amazon without conversion. I've tried some of the other reading apps recently including Kybook 3, but the ones I've settled on for now are Kindle for everything Amazon, Mapleread for everything else. I don't mind using 2 apps, but would rather use 1. If Mapleread ever adds AZW3/Mobi support, that will do the trick. I've pinged the dev, no reply yet so I'll take that as no for now.
