For starters I want a normal vertical scroll bar. I also tried reading a CHM file (a whopping 30MB!) which I must admit, FBReader opened exceptionally fast. But it was difficult to navigate. Some links didn't work, whilst they do work in Windows etc. Most eBooks I seem to come by are still in PDF though.
PDF is fine if it's just plain text. But try reading a magazine with lots of pictures. The load time per page is unbearable. Evence is a little better, because it loads the next page in the background.. but that doesn't cut it if I want to skip a page. So for now I just manually edit my PDFs and cut out all pages not of interest (ads, boring articles), load them up in Evence and wait till it has cached a few pages.
