Animation-Free Pdf Reader for iOS, Android, or Windows?

Hi,

Can anyone recommend an animation-free pdf reading app?

Especially an app that can render large images, can render jpeg2000 images, can reliably render transparency without gray rectangles, can hide layers, and can read epub and/or mobi in a pinch.

What I've seen so far:

Librerator works fairly well, but it's no longer maintained, and no longer recommended.

Preview, iBooks, and other Quartz-based readers have trouble with transparency in Ghostscript outputs. From what I've seen of the iOS version of iBooks, it has way too much animation and ignores accessibility settings to stop the animation.

What animation?:

I can get sick from scrolling and page-flipping animation. I always get sick from zooming animation.

I have an easier time if an app jumps from page to page, or time permitting, fades out and then fades back in.

I mostly use page down on my computer, and page flip buttons on my Kindle Dx.

But what device?:

I have not decided on a device, I think I'll need to work back from software options to hardware options.
