Any recommendations for my Magic?


I seen Aldiko which looks very good, but I haven't tried yet. Any others I should try out?
 
Just having a go with FBReader, it seems good. Just downloading Aldiko now, from the screenshots the library and layout etc looks better. We shall see.
 
I haven't used Aldiko. However, there is one thing you might want to check and compare.

FBReader loads the whole book into memory when you start the app or choose a book. This means that it takes a little longer to get into your book but the scrolling/paging is then seamless as it has already been loaded, parsed, etc.

I like this as slow scrolling annoys the crap out of me. Check and compare against Aldiko - though for all I know Aldiko not only has the better/prettier UI but also really fast, smooth scrolling/paging.
 
Right just had a little play with them and I like Aldiko a lot more it's great. :) The UI is a lot nicer and although it takes a second or two to load up the next chapter, the scrolling and page turning is so smooth and fast.
