#12Pretty keen to try one day, a quick question for anyone who has installed it is what does it do to the battery life of the device its installed on? is it the same, better or worse and by how much?

#14Saves me so much work in having to convert EPUB files on my Kindle. I also love how great it is at handling PDF files and cropping margins out of pages. I don't think I would ever want an e-reader that couldn't run it at this point.

#16Lately, I've used it on Android, and UI which is more suited for e-ink screens, look not so polished on phones, but that's just nitpicking. It's fully usable and keeps adding support for new platforms.

#17I'd love to give KOReader a try -- does anyone know if it can be used with library books, via overdrive or another integration? A quick search indicates KOReader doesn't work with DRM books, but I'm curious if someone has a solution.

#19I came across KOReader when I was trying to jailbreak my kindle. It's UI looked great on e-ink screen. And it handled almost all ebook formats properly. Lately, I've used it on Android, and UI which is more suited for e-ink screens, look not so polished on phones, but that's just nitpicking. It's fully usable and keeps adding support for new platforms.

#20At least in the past, screen refresh was slower; the reflective, rather than luminescent screen changed contrast and color performance; resolution was well behind standard screens.
The first two seem easily solved; the third hard to mitigate beyond larger print and appropriate typefaces. What else?
