KOReader: Open-Source eBook Reader

I use a Kobo because its overdrive integration lets me read ebooks checked out from my county library.

I'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.

Koreader doesn't integrate with overdrive, but it's trivially easy to install it on your Kobo alongside the Kobo OS. You can continue to use overdrive on your Kobo and also dip into koreader for the better PDF viewer etc.

I tried koreader on a kobo. I wouldn't call it trivially easy when I installed it last year, and I promptly uninstalled it and removed all the hacks so I could get back to a sane installation of the Kobo OS again.

I think maybe for a kindle it might be worth it, but the reality is for Kobo, it's probably more hassle than it's worth.

I found my time better spent setting up a calibre-web in a docker container and then having my kobo sync to that. And that was awesome.
