However, the unit appears to be stabilized after a couple of factory resets and re-installing KOR . Both types of ebooks are working normally and without any problems including the earlier mentioned issue of blank pages.

While what I am doing may not be aggressive enough for "power users", it works for me for the time being.
If you install 4.4, you'll be able to change the reader application on the fly using context menu without any need to manually edit extensions config file (FBReader (preinstalled in 4.4), Cool Reader, KoReader and AdobeViewer will be available for you).

KoReader might be a good choice for PDF files, but for epub and mobi books imho FBReader and CoolReader are much better choices. Blank page issue and terrible lag in AdobeViewer will not disappear just because you reset your reader.

Even if you only use the reader for reading books (just like most of the people do), I would still recommend downgrading which is pretty easy to do.
