4.EBookDroid(Rated:4.6)
EbookDroid is a open source (GPL) app which can not only add bookmarks like most other readers in the market, but also give the outline of an ebook that doesn't have a table of contents.Apart from that, you can also jump to a page with standard "go to" feature.The best feature is the inclusion of OPDS catalog feeds, that means, you need to feed in the alias, URL, and authentication details to view an online catalog such as feedbooks.

6.Cool Reader(Rated:4.7)
Designed to only read books, Cool Reader is very bare bones and basic, lacking any kind of shelf or main interface.The app has a clean white background and a old book type background by default.You can change them by going into the options menu.You can read books both in landscape and potrait mode and easily take notes and look words up in the dictionary.
Cool Reader just gives the impression of being very simplistic to people, and for a simple eBook reader app, this one worth to be check out.
