So, I tried it out, used the KSM method (thank you to Ken for making that an easy to follow guide).
The install went smooth, and was really easy once I found Ken's post using KSM since I've got an H2O.
Wasn't a huge fan of the UI of KSM, but eh, it's just a means to an end so not a biggie (I really wouldn't even count this as a reason to use KoReader or not, it's really not a big deal).
KoReader itself, well I can now say for certain I vastly prefer Kobo's library method, which includes 'collections' (which are adjustable using Calibre) to the default KoReader. I would investigate tweaking this further, but it's really just the start of the big issues.
The settings for reading, maybe it was just me using the last available nightly build for koreader but I didn't see a font size option, or margin option, or line spacing, etc. I did see the ability to change fonts and a number of other non-reader settings.
Opening books takes about the same amount of time, Koreader just tells you it's opening the book.
Overall I just don't think it's for me, I can see from some folks here that the PDF rendering may be better, but I'm only reading epubs. It was a fun little experiment, but I'll stick with the stock reader, which is actually quite good and those who haven't looked at it in some time may want to check it out.
