Prompted by this and some other things here, I've been experimenting with other Android readers on my phone. Though in the past, I didn't like some of the others, I'm finding that ones I'd dismissed before have their strengths. I just read most of a book on FB Reader after starting it on Moon+ Reader Pro. There are tradeoffs, but I found it to be appealing and usable. I wasn't wanting to return to the comfortable space of Moon+. The one thing that bothered me with FB was that you can only flip pages as a whole. You can't scroll them like you can with most readers. It's as awkward as the rest as far as organization and interface goes, but I liked the way it rendered and the options it gave me. Moon+'s search and open book implementations are vastly better for me, though.
Cool Reader has an ugly faux-wood background interface, but a nicely organized and detailed set of rendering features.
I never use the publisher's formatting mode of Moon+ because the compressed line spacing is uncomfortable for me. We all have our comfort zones and typography that appeals to our eyes and sense of readability.
