very much for the info. I kinda guessed that Calibre was using an authentication protocol that wasn't implemented in KOReader. I thought that might have been an easy fix since it's supported natively by the firmware but I guess not.

Thanks for the Calibre tip, too. Didn't see that option. I actually checked the advanced server settings prior to posting but I guess I got cross eyed and missed it. Switched the server to basic and Calibre OPDS login works on KOReader now.
