You could give KOReader a try :)
Is there a way to get colour there? B&W bums me out... I'm on GrapheneOS so have MoonReader (install google services, install, disable network on it, uninstall google services, and you're good) but ebooks is one of my major use cases on mobile and everything FOSS sucks in comparison...
Can't answer that question as I am only using KOR on my ereader, which only displays black an white :D What would be your usecase for color in ebooks?
I like green on black on my phone, nice screen, good for the eyes. I'd love to sync between that and my kobo, but not happening at the moment. Currenly read new things on the kobo and old faves on the phone, it's fine, but could be better...
If you don't need anything special, Book Reader on fdroid might work for you.
try koreader I've tried a few e-book readers this is the best one I found so far I think it's available in fdroid
