I think Moon+ Reader is the very best in the Android e-reader business, for any format, because of the extreme flexibility it gives you when choosing your reading options. Want the status bar on top? Done. There are a thousand and one little options that make it a serious e-reading app.
But Moon+ has a big niggle, and that is its inability to detect bold and italic variations of a given font. Quoting myself from a recent post:

Suppose I have Adobe Caslon Regular, Bold, Italic and Bold Italic TTF files. All of them show up separately in the font picker, not as one single Adobe Caslon font. If I choose the Regular file in the font picker, I am never going to see the true italic and bold fonts, even though my device has them, but only the faux versions created by Moon+. This is especially infuriating for DOCXs, PDFs and TXTs, where I sometimes use Moon+ in order to experiment with fonts. But it seems there is no way to get true italics or bold, unless it is applied to the entire text, which is not what you want.
This is a shame, because no other app I know of has so many customisation features for the text, menus, status bars, gestures and suchlike.

I would be grateful if someone figured out a way to get all the bolds and italics for a single font. When others like FBReader and Librera are able to do this for custom fonts, I don’t see why Moon+ should not be able to.
