mihai012 added Librera Reader as alternative to Garden Reads- Farrukh added Built-in viewer as a feature to Librera Reader
Its UI is very professional. I like its book arrangements. However, one issue keep itching me, is that, when you want to Highlight or select a word, the Dialog to search in dictionaries, or text highliting is very annoying. It completely covers the word upon which you wanna act. This has to be addressed like the display of this dialog must not cover/hide the word which is being selected.

Documents are easily identified by size- and style-adjustable thumbnail covers and detailed descriptions. Your library can be sorted by path, name, size, date, etc., and there is a filter to help locate specific documents or document groups. While reading, documents can be locked into a vertical-scroll-only mode and their navigation set to either page- or screen-flipping. Text can be reflowed and annotated. Volume keys' functionality is configurable, and backgrounds and fonts customizable via the intuitive Settings window. Excerpts can be translated, shared, copied, and searched for on the Internet.

Best EPUB and PDF reader for android. It's feature complete. You almost wish it was available for Windows too.
Its UI is very professional. I like its book arrangements. However, one issue keep itching me, is that, when you want to Highlight or select a word, the Dialog to search in dictionaries, or text highliting is very annoying. It completely covers the word upon which you wanna act. This has to be addressed like the display of this dialog must not cover/hide the word which is being selected.
There's no problem with opening most of the file formats, no crashes or smth else. BUT it really lack quality of life features. I used it mostly for PDF and DjVu, and reading these file formats doesn't feel comfortable. When changing pages, instead of return at the start of the page, is stands at the same place and you have to scroll each time to the start. It doesn't have auto-fit function, so you need to zoom each time to hide borders and make text larger. The page can be moved anywhere on the screen, instead of fixing it to the borders boundaries. I think among open source apps it's one of the best, as it opens a lot of file formats, but now I switched to ReadEra. It's just more comfortable to use. Maybe the only thing I now miss is custom interface color and background images P.s. make sure you download it from F-Droid, because the Google Play version has ads
While Librera has advanced features, it is also a very easy to use PDF viewer on Android. Once given permission, it finds PDFs in a jiffy. Even better than an easy link to Google Drive, once you set Sync option by scrolling down the 3-horizontal bar icon on the left side, your PDFs there show instantly.
Great functionality, format compatibility and has an F-Droid version.
tts continues to speak with the screen off. MoonReader+Pro cannot.
I love Librera as it gives me the smoothest format for my self-published eBook series!
