I don't know why Kobo's PDF support is so terrible. It's a real mystery to me. My Kindle Keyboard handles them at a comfortable, readable level. As does my Kindle Voyage, only a bit quicker. After installing Koreader, I was able to read PDFs on my Aura H2O with the same kind of performance as using one of my Kindle devices.

This idea that Kobo have been listening to customer feedback when designing the Kobo Aura One is what has made me hesitate before installing Koreader on it - they might improve the PDF support somehow. Probably not. They've lasted this long without changing anything. Most likely I'll install Koreader in a few months and put up with the ugly menus and inconvenience of a dual operating system. It's less reliable and has some glitches, but decent PDF viewing and reading epubs in landscape mode are worth it for me.
