Open source ebook reader recommendations?

Currently I’m using Google Play books and there are few things I’m used to and can’t live without:

turning pages by volume keys
cloud syncing (doesn’t have to be their cloud, but implementing some cloud services would be nice, bonus points for S3 compatible)
searching text in the book
supports epub

I want to switch to something open source because I’m often using my S-Pen to turn pages and I’d like my book reader to support it too. I’m fine with contributing the code myself (as I’ve done for the comic book reader app I’m using), but if there already is one, it would save me some work.

While it’s not an eReader, Alexandria in F-Droid is amazing. It allows you to download books from LibGen as well as convert the books into a different format if needed for whatever eReader you select. Definitely a nice app to pair with your new eReader!
