It's highly customizable to suit your preferences. Other than tapping the one-touch day/night mode, you can fine-tune the screen brightness to suit your eyes by sliding your finger along the left edge of the screen. In visual options, you can set font type, size and color, page flip animation, and save your settings as a theme. In control options, you can change key press and multi-touch gestures to your liking too. Other features include bookmark, highlight, annotation, dictionary, share, online backup and restore via Dropbox, sync reading positions between phones and tablets. Beside reading books saved in your Android, you can also search and get thousands of ebooks for free with this app which supports online ebook libraries. This app can read various ebook formats including ePub, txt, html, chm, fb2, umd, zip or OPDS. On the downside, it doesn't support pdf files and has ads in this free version.

I have Aldiko Reader pre-installed on my Samsung phone. I hope its a good one, because I won't be able to uninstall it, unless I root the phone :D.
Aldiko is one of my favorites and a review will be forthcoming soon about it :)
That's good to know :)
Cool Reader is the best for me !
As the new editor of this category, I'll take a look at CoolReader. Could you tell me why it's the best for you??
Thanks!

oooh.... ooooh... callonme... callonme... [he said, flailing his hand in the air wildly, trying to get the teacher's attention]
I'll tell you at least MY single biggest reason: It handles more file formats. That's a big one... probably the biggest, at least for me.
It sure could use an interface overhaul, though. Many other readers -- the earlier-mentioned Aldiko, for example, just to name one -- are easier on the eyes. When it gets to the point that even Moon+ is better looking than CoolReader, then the folks at CoolReader might want to consider a redesign. But other than that, it's got pretty much everything that all the others have...
...and so, when you net it out (factoring-in, of course, that CoolReader handles so many file formats), CoolReader's the best choice.
Also, I could be wrong, but I thought that it, along with Moon+, was on this web site's "Best Free Android Apps" list...
http://www.techsupportalert.com/long-list.htm/Best%20Free%20Android%20Ap...
...but when I looked, just now, I see that only Moon+ is there. I could have sworn that CoolReader was once right there with Moon+ though. If it was, and if it has since been removed, then this site owes the reader a little note or something explaining why.
Oh, well. That's my input, for whatever it's worth.

P.S. If you're the new editor of this category, then you need to get in there and remove the call for one, and introduce yourself, and make sure that this category is off the table in everyone's mind as being in need of an editor.
