I tried Aldiko. Honestly, didn't like it all that much. The bookshelf is fancy, but a bit over the top, I like things simple, so I prefer FBReader's bookshelf look more.
Plus the loading time for epubs seems longer with Aldiko compared to FBReader. The Aldiko's lookup is interesting, but not very useful, as it has to switch to browser and then back. I rather switch from fbreader to colordict and then back. While I'm at it, is there a reader that supports offline dictionary lookup, the way mobipocket reader on windows mobile does - that you highlight a word and get a definition, without having to switch to a different app? I think Libris does, but it's not free.
