ReactOS emulated is certainly "usable", but you wouldn't want to have it as your OS for reading, I assure you. Although the Kobo is capable of emulating it at a surprising speed, it still takes ~ 20 minutes to boot, which is not that bad, but not that great either.
Whilst this is fun project I would never use it in anger, 20mins is too long to wait to download a book, when there are already ways you can buy, borrow direct from the device. Admittedly you are limited to the Kobo store but that's still not bad.

Personally I use COPS to make my Calibre library available and that works with the native browsers on all my devices. That does mean I have to do my purchasing when I'm at my PC - but that's not such a hardship.

But as I said, fun project, great to see the progress you're making!
