What font/layout settings do you prefer that get you really into it?
I use roboto. I especially like how Moon+ reader renders it with antialiasing. Font size depends on the screen and reading distance, but the end result is generally 50-100% more per page. I don't feel like I'm spending all my time turning pages that way.
I still use PDFs for stuff with graphics, diagrams, code, etc. I don't think epub maintains the formatting well enough. But if a book is mostly prose, I find the ability to reflow the text helps me a lot.
And the too much detail follow up lol.

And a macro shot of the text to show that the apparent sloppiness is really just the picture. But other apps without the smoothing don't always look the same. I've used different variations of the font on different apps to get the best result.
