For me (on Kobo Mini) there are two killer features.
1.) Free configurable tapzones. I have configured Koreader to tap anywhere to page forward. To page back I still can swipe. I absolutely don't understand why this is not the default setting or at least a choice in the Kobo settings! (This goes to all readers, as far as I know none offers a feature even close to this one)
2.) Folders. While I can understand why folks prefer to have all their tags and series or whatever in a reader database I really cannot stand how long Kobo takes after you load a bulk of books on the device. With koreader I put the books in a hidden folder (that prevents Nickel from seeing them), and after an update I can start reading immediately. No more bothering with corrupt databases!
I just talked about Koreader, Coolreader can do both of the above, I just don't use it since I can't mark text passages in Coolreader. This is another killer feature for me (which Nickel can do too) and therefore a nogo for Coolreader.
