If you have a newer Kindle and some hacking skills, consider looking for new Kindle jailbreak methods. The existing jailbreak methods don't work on newer firmwares. ( See https://kindlemodding.org/kindle-models.html )

I have a kobo ebook with [plato](https://github.com/baskerville/plato), it includes koreader but I found the built in mupdf much more intuitive and elegant.

The thing I find the most valuable on KOReader is something I haven't seen mentioned yet: the book map[0]

It shows you chapter and section divisions in a single screen, along with black bars to show you which pages and chapters you've spent a lot of time on. I use this very often to jump back to pages or chapters, or look at which parts confused me. It also visualizes where bookmarks and notes are. When you want to see a segment in more detail, you click there and it brings you to a 6-page zoomed-in view.

Let alone being more useful than the Kindle or Kobo UX, it's more useful than the book UX.

So good. I've built a plugin for it to allow me download books from my Jellyfin server on my Kindle 3 Keyboard (from 2010!). Was lovely for develop for and the wide compatibility of KOReader has made it a great investment.

No Windows? Is it a political choice or is there a technical limitation?

Windows would be a whole different build target, and Koreader works great through WSL anyway.

Any macOS builds out there? I would really like to have one app that can open both ePubs and pdfs.

Don’t need the library feature to manage books like Books.app, just need a light and reliable reader.

Did anyone made a comparison across different devices for running this? I am curious on what is the best device today to run it, and also the best when accounting for cost of the device too.

I love KOReader! I use it on my Kobo Clara Colour with Calibre. Love Wikipedia lookup, customization options, and the fact that wifi is off by default.

I use it since years on my PocketBook Touch HD 3. I especially like the statistics. You might not care about them, but I find them very interesting.

If you like the statistics you might enjoy BookOrbit. I'm a sucker for stats like this and love having them centralized so that it's not just on my e-reader (in case it dies or if I read on another compatible app that syncs progress/stats).

I installed this because I wanted the sqlite database that track when I'm turning each page
