* Footer/progress bar customization. I see page numbers (real pages/screenfuls, not synthetic page numbers), pages left in the chapter, current time...

* Much more responsive and easy to control highlighting. With nickel it's always hit and miss and I often have to try several times before I manage to highlight what I want.

* With the proper tweaks (menu-selectable), footnotes/endnotes can be shown as real footnotes or popups, no kepub or epub3 formatting, just reasonable class names. (It works in my books, at least.)

* Real small-caps! If the chosen fonts has small-caps, Koreader can display them with "font-variant: small-caps".
Exactly.

These last years, I kept using Prince PDF, just to freeze the ePub display for my device, because the rendering was just perfect, and Koreader suffered from many small glitches on this regard.

Koreader has been improving steadily, up to the point that now, since last April, I do not use Prince PDF anymore because I found that the display of notes and OT features is now better with Koreader.

Koreader, a very advanced ebook-reader.
