MoonReader won't load my background or book cover images - why?

I love this app, but the background images and cover replacements for EPUBs without covers don't suit my style. So I tried to use Moon Reader's link to search my SD card for my own images (I have a lot of them), but no matter how trim and and proportioned those images may be, they are all blocked from loading. What's the deal with this?

Sometimes it's the non-essentials that really bother you, but then this is one of those rare apps which I paid the Pro fee for, and now here's something which it says it will do, but doesn't. Reading with this app is altogether more satisfying than with other reader apps, but being able to look at a leather or wood-grain background of my choice is something you should expect with a paid app. It would also be a bit more satisfying if I didn't have to choose between duplicating one of the all-floral book covers on offer (yecchhh) or going with one of the pink options (20% of all of them). If you can help me understand and overcome this, you'll be the hero who I will sing about!
 
Have you tried 'Mantano Reader' yet?

There is a free version for trying :)

I just tried it. It looks to be quite powerful for book annotators, but it offers only one alternate theme.

Besides being not interested in themes, and just wanting to cherry-pick images for covers and background when an app says that it will support that, Mantano is also nearly twice as big a memory hog as Moon Reader. This may be why it lagged so badly on my phone, but I was unwilling to lose my bookmarks in MoonReader by removing it for the test.

Another problem was language - not all of the dev text in every loop (such as Themes) is consistently in the same language (English for me).
