I am looking for an Android ePub Reader with certain characteristics.

It should be lightweight, be able to read local files, respect book css and have an intuitive design, and be regularly developed.

Before you respond, note that these are the ones I have tried:
Play Books, Kindle: My preferred choices, but they both require uploading/sending ePub files and then downloading them again.
Kobo Books: Not lightweight at all. Very slow.
Readera, Moon+ Reader, eBoox, eReader Prestigio, Librera, FBReader: Do not respect book/publisher css.
Lithium: Does all the above but isn't developed. Also slow.
Aldiko (now Cantook): Does all the above but a bug (long lines like urls do not get cut off at the end of the screen so they go into the next page and cover the text on it; see attachment) that I have reported since 2 years has not been fixed. Also, can't zoom in on images.
KOReader: weird and not intuitive design, also, didn't seem to correctly detect the screen size of my device, as text went off screen
Pocketbook seems to be decent but it needs a lot of customization to be good. I'd like something that works right off.
Something like an Android equivalent to Apple Books. Or, Play Books but it doesn't require upload.
