Most Android eBook reading apps are garbage. They don't respect the CSS and are full of options you have to select something instead of being able ot just get on with the CSS. Any reading app that fails to respect the CSS when allowing overrides is garbage. An override should have two sets of options. One for the override and one to turn that specific override off.
Collections are good but they would be better if they allowed collections within collection like a directory tree. Collections have one advantage over directory trees. With collections, you can have the same eBook in multiple collections without having to have multiple copies.

Also despite epub3, kF8 etc vs original mobi prc files and original ereaders with epub, the standards development has been poor tinkering. Stupidity like kepub and KFX doesn't help.

The problem with Amazon is mobi. Amazon still supports mobi for older Kindles. So that stifles the use of the more advanced features of KF8. KFX is ridiculous and has no need to exist. All that KFX can can be done in the renderer for XF8. As for ePub3, the problem there is that the Readers that use RMSDK (ADE) are not updating to the latest version that handles ePub3. So what we get is ePub3 that could just as easiy be ePub2 with no loss of functionality.
