The OP is set on e-ink. The OP is set on Koreader. Are you aware that he is far for being alone thinking this way on the Kindle forum? Jailbreak creation and distribution has been a hallmark of MobileRead for some years. Please do read these many threads.

Suddenly, because Amazon tightens the bolts for 5.6.5. (or the screws, probably the screws if I judge by myself), this choice should be "foolish"?

To show further that my choice was "foolish", I have been told authoritatively that Koreader was not as featureful as Kindle or Kobo. (e.g. highlights, notes).

It's true for notes because this feature has not yet been implemented but it's clearly false for highlights where Koreader has a better solution.

But when I point to hyphenation, which was lacking for Kindle till 2015 and has been only partially implemented (kfx only), while it's automatic for Koreader, then I'm told that few people care really about typography. Really?

When you criticize wrongly about one supposed defect in your neighbour's and you dismiss the one which is in your own eye, is it wise or foolish?
