For me FBreader on Nokia is the most amazing reader software. I've been with it from its beginning and reported all the bugs I found, experimented as the creators suggested on their Google group, and from version 0.7.e or f on (now is 0.8??, forgot since on OS2006 I update it wirelessly without going through a pc) it's been perfect for me.

It can read a lot of formats and quite a few languages (including unencrypted Mobipocket, and opf), it reads zip archives so you can save lots of space by compressing your books and more recently it even paginates numerically the book and shows the time on that bar (which you toggle in and out as you wish with a button). Of course it has all the standard things like rotation, library, previous opened book, recent book list, table of contents, search, customizable margins, font, colors, character list, image embedding, automatic saving...

I guess that for any other devices you just have to report your experiences and bugs on the Google group and the fix will come soon.

Also the Ebk1150 proprietary software is pretty good, fast, good search and the rest.

On my PC I tried this and that including uBook, but ultimately for anything reflowable I discovered I read it best in html with my Firefox browser.
