My #1 "the iBooks app and Kindle app" annoy me is:

Not being able to adjust the brightness by swiping up and down the page. Having to choose font, then brightness adjust, then adjust the brightness....is annoying as <insert barely offensive word here>

Followed by:

2. Not being able to define the direction of the touch targets. I like everything to be "go forward". FBReader is extra nice in that there are three touch zones per side so I can have 5 of 6 targets for forward and 1 (lower left is my preference) for going back.

3. Handling series. I want to view my books by series.

4. OPDS and other nice and easy book loading options beyond the Apple or Kindle book stores

5. Color schemes beyond 3 or 4 choices. I like very low contrast night themes of medium greenish grey over darker greenish black.

6. Support of iOS and Android. Kindle has this but iBooks does not
