I agree with you that reading PDFs using Nickel is frustrating. And that Koreader is much better. From my experience, it is about the same as reading PDFs on a Kindle, only with the added inconvenience of having to browse through your PDFs separately to your other books (if you want to keep using Nickel), and without features such as having your most recently opened PDFs coming to the top of lists as they would in Nickel.

Installing Koreader is fairly easy... if it works. (For example, I installed it on my H2O, and it worked first time. I found it a bit confusing and scary but didn't take longer than half an hour.) I have made several attempts to install it on my One and it simply hasn't worked, despite my following the instructions. So if it works, it is easy. Perhaps it works for most people... but for some people (me and at least one other person), it just doesn't work.
