I’m currently using readera but it’s not that good (text scaling is behind a paywall)
Edit:the ability to put stuff into categories would be neat btw
SumatraPDF or zathura + zathura-pdf-mupdf
MuPDF
I’ve been using MuPDF for pdf’s and Libera for epubs, both on f-droid. Libera can also read pdf’s but for reasons I don’t remember, it wasn’t as usable for them as MuPDF is, at least for me. So I stayed with MuPDF.
+1 for MuPDF. It’s so lightweight it almost feels like a native part of the OS
Librera Reader - either from F-droid, or you can use Obtainium to install directly from repo.
Play Store version is paid but comes with additional features including network library integrations
No general reader abilities are behind a paywall though. So fdroid(free) version is recomended
What sort of network library integrations are you referring to? The version I install directly from repo has Project Gutenberg and Internet Archive preconfigured, and I can add my own Calibre and OPDS libraries too.
Edit: the Play Store version (Pro) is also available via the repo, along with the F-droid release. Another reason I avoid F-droid and install direct from repo using Obtainium.
That’s what I’m using:

I would advise to use open-source software wherever you can. You (almost) never have paywalls, ads or trackers there ;)
I’m surprised nobody mentioned a browser, never thought to go beyond it. Any reason people have/prefer dedicated software aside from a browser?
dark mode
native and user-created bookmarks
Firefox has a PDF reader built in these days.
It’s 👍 but barebones. No dark mode and support for native and user-created bookmarks.
