Ebook readers for Android, Amazon.com's Kindle Reader is a huge hit. One of the things that made Amazon.com so popular by excluding access to its huge library of Kindle books is that Amazon.com provides an application for most mobile devices, including: Android, iPhone and laptops running Windows or Mac operating systems. The Kindle app remembers where it left off from any Internet-connected device, so you can start reading on your iPod and finish on your Android.
One thing to keep in mind when you build your Amazon.com library is to keep Amazon's books with Kindle readers. They use proprietary formats instead of the industry-standard ePub format and it only locks you to buy books from Amazon.com.
Google Play Books is a bookstore from Google. They have only every smartphone or e-book reader available except Android, iPad, iPod, computer and Amazon Kindle. The Google Play Books e-book reader offers similar features to most readers, with the ability to start reading on one connected device and continue on the other. The bookstore has a large selection of free books from Google's large database of self-scanned public domain library books, as well as e-books and audiobooks.
Kobo Readers was the choice of Border Bookstores. Remember the border? But Kobo has always been an independent store, so Kobo Reader didn't die when Border did.

You can still get Kobo readers, the Android app achieves a great reading experience.
The Kobo Store lets you download thousands of top quality books and read them across your device. You can also buy books outside the Kobo store, as long as they are DRM-free ePub books.

It's easy to read and very customizable. However, the Aldico reader is a choice that involves more shaking. Unlike the other readers mentioned here, it is not tied to any tablet and it does not sync with any reader. You can run the Aldico app on an open Android tablet but your bookmarks will not transfer to your phone. There is also a way to sink your books with caliber but it involves rooting your phone.
Aldico offers a wide range of free public domain books without any DRM. If you are looking for divers in the classics then this is a great way to get started. Otherwise, you need to buy your e-books elsewhere and import them.

While not as big as Amazon or Google, Burns & Noble is still one of the largest traditional bookstores in the world. The app certainly reflects that, and offers a ton of choice as well as a good Polish interface for reading.

Media 365 is kind of weird though. It's a publishing platform that lets you indie authors, including publishers, to download their books through apps. It doesn't really work that way, and the built-in shop is reserved for most public domain classics.
