The Koreader project started as an alternative PDF reader for Kindles. The Coolreader3 engine components were added to the reader enabling a number of additional formats. While this is a port of the original Kindle project, it's development is proceeding right along with the Kindle version. To some extent all such community supported projects can be described as "experimental", I have used commercial programs that were less ready for prime time than this project. I am using it as the primary reader on my Kobo AuraHD. Keep in mind that this is an addition to the Kobo software, which remains fully functional, in fact you normally launch Koreader using the Kobo user interface.
The port to the Kobo devices has spurred the development of the overall project, and makes Koreader a file browser based reading program for the Kobo devices a reality. It is also a way to avoid the problems the Kobo software has assimilating an existing file based ebook library.
Luck;
Ken
