Elevating reading with KoReader

KoReader is a document viewer for E-Ink devices. This application supports EPUB, PDF, DjVu, XPS, CBT, CBZ, FB2, PDB, TXT, HTML, RTF, CHM, DOC, MOBI and ZIP files. It’s available for Kindle, Kobo, PocketBook, Android and desktop Linux.

9 color highlight options in KoReader. My device is Kobo Libra Colour

I got interested with KoReader because of the many pros I have been hearing about it. Once you have KoReader in all of your devices, it can definitely sync all configuration, notes, highlights and progress across all devices were your KoReader is installed. Aside from this, I saw a video from a nightly build wherein there are more color highlights options that I can use for my annotation and highlighting.

Some more features you may like:

• Dark Mode

• Gesture configuration

• Enable rotation

• Dropbox integration

Cons:

• Installation is a bit tricky

• Stylus won't work for Kobo devices with stylus feature
