What is Librera Reader?
With its intuitive, yet powerful, interface, Librera makes ebook reading a veritable pleasure. It even features a unique auto-scrolling, hands-free Musician's mode. Two versions are available for downloading: Free version with ads, and PRO without (the free version obtainable via F-Droid is also ad-free). MAIN FEATURES: Easy document discovery by configurable criteria: Auto-Scan Browse Recent (featuring a reading-progress indicator) Support for bookmarks, annotations, and EPUB3 tables of contents Support for clouds and online catalogs Configurable Day and Night modes Configurable link color (hence, footnotes and endnotes color) Support for many popular online (including translators) and offline dictionaries Vertical-scroll lock Auto- and manual centering of documents Custom CSS code input Single-page view of two-page documents Musician's mode with configurable scroll speed Customizable TTS reading and built-in media player Multi-word text search Online document conversion Reading of archived (.zip) documents Support for RTL languages (Thai, Hebrew, Arabic, etc.) Import and export of settings, auto-backup of current session Leading initials in FB2 documents And a whole bunch of other features for you to check out. You can easily create self-maintained libraries of all your documents by specifying which formats to include and which folders to scan. All document collections can be viewed as a list or grid. 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.

SaaY liked Librera Reader
I switched from FBReader to Librera mainly because it's much easier to define and use search engines and dictionaries in Librera.
I haven't tested all the numerous features yet, but it seems to have everything I need for ebooks and then some.
It can read comic formats too, but doesn't handle them as well as other dedicated apps like Tachiyomi. Scaling and auto-cropping don't work as well, and it doesn't have Tachiyomis' very useful overlay filter, so for CBR/CBZ I'm sticking with Tachiyomi for now.
Be aware that although the PRO version is available for free on F-Droid, it lacks internet-related features. Here's what the F-Droid repo says:
“For better security, the F-Droid version, is based on the latest MuPDF 1.16.1 and does not require access to the Internet.
For the above reason, some Internet-related features of Librera Reader are missing in its F-Droid version:
Librera Reader is incredibly easy to use and has all the right features. It's very feature-rich , runs phenomenally well, and is very intuitive to use. It's easy to use it as a simple default reader but is heavily customisable, with very accessible menus. I have never had to look up how to do something on this app; the interface is great.
Best EPUB and PDF reader for android. It's feature complete. You almost wish it was available for Windows too.
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!
Libera has a text to speech feature so it turns all your pdfs to audiobooks!
A very powerful and feature rich FOSS alternative to Moon+ Reader for Android. Pro version is available for free in F-Droid marketplace, one of the best readers for Android I've seen so far.
