An alternative ereader to try besides FBReader is CoolReader [ https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.coolreader ].

Personally, I prefer FBReader for reading compared to the Kindle or Google Reader apps because it supports hyphenation, which makes the spaces between words more consistent for a better reading experience.

CoolReader

Interesting, I hadn't known about that one. CoolReader seems to do better at rendering than FBReader does; seems nice, especially once you turn off the slow page-turn animation stuff. And GPL-licensed as well. Thanks!
