Question So frustrated trying to find good ebook reader

I had been cruising along happily with MapleRead until I got a new iPad and discovered that it doesn’t support multiple windows. It also breaks the cmd-tab switcher so I can’t easily switch out of it via keyboard. And now that I have two devices, its lack of auto-syncing page position reveals itself to be a headache.

So I’m looking for an upgrade. I thought I had found it with Yomu, but Yomu’s OPDS support is broken (you can’t search an OPDS server as you can with MapleRead) and it can’t properly display certain epubs (certain characters get garbled, Yomu blames Apple, but MapleRead handles it just fine so it’s not an apple problem it’s a Yomu problem.)

Here are my criteria for an ebook reader:
* epub & pdf support, minimum. More formats are always nice.
* full OPDS support, minimum. Auto-discover local servers via Bonjour (as MapleRead does) is a strong plus.
* split screen & multiple window support on iPad
* auto-sync books & page position between devices

Are there any ebook readers you could recommend that fit?
