Are there any decent 3rd party e-reading apps out for it yet? Kobo, Kindle, Nook etc do not play well with EPUB files that are not purchased through them.

I pre-ordered one and then backed off temporarily as I read that the only reading apps that work are from the big vendors. Hopefully one of the Android apps (Coolerreader, Aldiko etc) or even Stanza from the Apple world gets ported over.
