KOReader is nice. There's also Plato[0] for Kobo, which unlike the Kobo Libra 2 stock reader and KOReader didn't choke on an .epub with the entire Bible in one xhtml file.

#32It is great, the only thing I coulnd't find is PDF text layer reflow. May be someone knows how to do that?
I think it's had it for quite some time, it's at:
BOTTOM MENU > Aa > Reflow
It's in the manual:
PDF documents - Crop margins automatically or manually - Reflow documents to extract text and read easier on a small screen - Different zoom types and page flow directions to read multi-column documents easily - Auto straighten tilted documents - Apply OCR - Special Panel zoom feature for reading mangas

#33I will never buy an eReader without support for koreader. It's absolutely essential to me, most importantly: * Lots of quick fixes for poorly chosen CSS properties (called "style tweaks" in koreader), just apply them on-the-fly. * Support for StarDict dictionaries, which you'll find plenty for all kinds of languages. * Great PDF support with automatic or manual cropping, and special viewing mode for two columns, perf…
Nice list! May I ask what dictionaries do you use (I've just chosen from the internal list, but they seem not that "ideal" after Oxford)? By the way about backlight - on Android there is a bug with that feature: warm light can't be used and also if you start using automatic lighting it does not actually work. Not a big deal: just using system presets from device lighting menu.
I've bought a dictionary from Pons when that was still available many years ago, I dimly remember there was a script to convert it to StarDict. Nowadays it's a bit difficult because everything has moved to online services, you often cannot buy these anymore as offline versions. I'd suggest to go search mobileread.com and Reddit, there are usually good suggestions there...

#34As I recall Koreader did not recognize that there are basically two versions of TXT-files.
In the first one paragraph is marked with single Carriage Return.
In the second one the paragraph has two CRs and all single CRs can be replaced with space.
Annoying but bagatel:

#35It used to crash my Kobo Clara so I uninstalled it. But I see they recently removed the warning about it being crashy, so maybe it's fixed.
It has a great 2-column PDF reader.
