Calibre is great for managing an ebook library, and okay for reading ebooks but the reader is clearly not its primary focus, so I'm wondering what readers folks here use across platforms.

I know of a few, but I'm always on the lookout for different options that may have features I didn't realize I'd love to use.

I’d like to hear from people who read more on those devices.

I started reading books electronically on my Palm Pilot III, later a Palm V, then a SONY Clie. I loved the convenience of it, especially because I didn't have the shelf space for all my books at home and I'm into 800+page fantasy books that are a hassle to carry around. After reading on PDAs anything is a luxury. These days I read on my smartphone when out and 11inch iPad at home. It's important to manage display brightness though to not tire the eyes, unlike eInk which depends on ambient light.

I generally use Google play books, it syncs across devices and have translation which is good as I started reading French books. But these features are also available on other readers like Kindle.

Interestingly I once worked on an eInk reader for a book chain competing with Amazon. I didn't get any freebie though.
