Both Marvin and Moon+ Reader are excellent in this regard. Overall, they are far from perfect – as I said many times, I'd rate both of them at around 3 ˝ out of 5 stars, although Moon+ Reader might, in fact, deserve a 4-star rating by now.

The more competition among quality e-reader apps, the better!)

But Moon+ gets a 1-star for being awful.
