I've personally recently been having a great experience with KOReader's somewhat more minimalistic but also speedier relative Plato (https://github.com/baskerville/plato) as well as the better integrated NickelMenu launcher (https://pgaskin.net/NickelMenu/).

In general, while it's far from perfect, I think the great work the Kobo hacking community has done despite the limitations has definitely made it one of the best e-reading experiences one can have today without locking oneself in.

Tbh the limitations are minor, the platform is incredibly open for a device like an e-reader. I also enjoy both koreader and Plato, although zotero integration (with it's new place-remembering pdf reader) would be awesome.

I tend to read books (stuff you sit down and read cover to cover) in nickel (the first party reader) but scientific papers and reference material in Plato/KoReader, esp KoReader has some wonderful PDF reflowing features.
