KOReader is widely known to be less energy efficient than Nickel (the native reader on Kobo devices). It's a commonly observed issue. It still lasts a long time! It's just not as e…

I'm always surprised as well when new languages targeting widespread use launch without an official one. Dotnet/C#, Go and other languages that come batteries included with the pac…
