Perhaps I'm overcomplicating it (I sometimes format with Calibre but that's limited). But all of that just gets old.
If I can save myself the time and still be satisfied with the book's formatting by letting KOReader do it for me, then I can live with that.
Kobo Libra is looking like it's the best fit.

Your welcome. Koreader really is impressive. I used to read alreader on an Android ereader, and liked it a lot, but I'm blown away by how well Koreader removes all publisher formatting. There are tons of option as to what formatting you can remove. It strips it all out. It's incredible. And I recently discovered you can just set your preferences as default. The people in the koreader sub-forum here are very responsive and answer all my questions. Just as well as there is no manual
I'd write one if I had the time.
Regarding the kobo hardware, someone that knows a lot about it was telling me that the current generation of kobo and kindle run on pretty much the same stuff, so they should be comparable. Personally I've never had much luck with Kobo, but they were older models. Based on my own experience (PW2) I prefer Amazon kit, but if I can't jailbreak it, I won't touch it. I nearly got a PW4 when they were on sale, but I wasn't sure it could be jailbreaked. What was a deal-breaker as well was that it has no orange light. I have to have the orange light.
