None of the available programs have everything I want yet, but FBReader is what I use on my netbook. It still has a ways to go with some display issues with certain formats, but it does read quite a few different formats.

You can choose to use the existing CSS from an ebook, or override it and set everything yourself. You can select font, size, margins, indent, line spacing, etc. I prefer the "traditional" progress bar vs a scrollbar in FBReader, which is also a choice. To go fullscreen, just hit the ENTER key. I also define the SPACEBAR as a "Large scroll forward" (next page). Hitting the SPACEBAR is easier.
