I've been considering an option to allow me to read epub books on my Kindle without prior conversion. I think KOReader looks like the best solution, though I'm not sure which launcher I'd rather use. Unfortunately the documentation seems more focused on HOW that WHAT (especially for KPV booklet), so I can't really get a good feel for the usability.

It appears (with much inference) that the KPV Booklet launcher creates a book entry in the Kindle homepage for each epub file that is an active app launcher that launches KoReader in the epub file that it represents, basically creating what appears to be an integrated experience. Is this correct, or am I completely off base? Does anybody have a YouTube video of this? [I can't seem to find one]

KUAL seems to require me to launch KUAL and then go through a few navigation steps. Correct?

Which gives the most seamless and integrated feel?

Also... should I be considering a different reader program if I want seamless? Maybe Duokan would be more seamless?
