Android eReader that supports Series and Tags

Does anyone know if there is an Android eReader that support the Series and Tags metadata in Calibre?

Thanks,
John

FBReader supports both tags and series. To be specific, and going by what I see when I use it, it supports browsing by series, tags, author and title. I suspect that it supports multiple authors, but I don't have any examples of this currently on my phone.

I will look into it. Does it read calibre's metadata or do you need to re-enter it?

It reads metadata from the book. This will be calibre's metadata if the book was saved with save-to-disk or send-to-device.

For further info, the Mantano reading app also supports Calibre series and tags. There is both a free and a paid-for version.

You can browse by Tags, Authors, Publishers, Series, Languages, Formats, Ratings or Folder, plus Mantano's own Collections.
You can sort by Title, Author, Series, Rating, Addition date or Last access date.
Books with multiple authors also seem to be handled correctly.
