If you really find converting to AZW3 to be an intolerable burden, you should have stuck with a device fundamentally meant to read EPUB.
KOReader is not as featureful as either the Kindle or Kobo stock firmware, AFAIK. (e.g. highlights and notes)
And I would be cautious about buying a device that doesn't have the capability out of the box to do what I want it to do.

It's the
second time in two weeks that you qualify my posts as foolish (or "on the point of foolishness). You can disagree with my views and stay urbane if it's not too much to ask for. I cast no doubt about your mental health.
Koreader is my app of choice for reading ebooks on the Kobo. I use it for about 95% of my books. The remaining are some books with a very complicated layout.
For your information, as far as "highlights" are concerned, which are according to you "not as featureful", you probably don't know that Koreader allows you to use the Evernote plugin (with the web clipper) which is very handy for this purpose and better than what Kobo offers. I am used this way to get the highlights on my Linux. Here is an old screenshot of mine about it. Koreader also allows very quick OTA incremental updates which are missing on Kobo. It can connect to Calibre OPDS. It's much more flexible for reading PDF... You can totally customize its mini-bar (screenshot) and many other things.
I bought this damned Kindle PW3 at a time (5th of October) when the 5.6.5 jailbreak was announced - or expected - to be released on the 31st of October 2015.
