Supports virtually all formats, reasonably fast and customizable, bunch of useful plugins (like ftp fetcher). Stock readers often fall short compared to that.
I think Calibre is more of a tradeoff - either you spend a lot of (one time) hassle getting koreader to run, or you get continuous hassle juggling and converting externally. The idea for using decent reader software is the streamlined experience - fetch a book from wherever, adjust rendering directly in the reader for the book, read it - all wysiwyg on the device.
There's of course the aspect of using calibre to organize libraries, but I'm not all that convinced it's really necessary unless one deals with extremely large libraries (to a point those never fit on the device). Then there are of course specialized tasks, like OCRing pdf scan to a book and such. Those tend to be one off though, not all the time.
