Do you know for a fact this is a bad app, and a bad site? Lots of readers offer in-app purchases, and lots of Android apps are developed by Russians, so neither of those items were inherently red flags to me.
I can say now that I did not download the third party version. I found mine on the Google Play Store because it had a 4.8 rating and a clean interface that pulled me in. There is a Synchronization option that I haven't used. It says it can synchronize your Google books with it but I don't really buy Google books so I didn't use it.

I do like that it connects you to websites like Bookbub so you can find other free books though. Nice little feature.
