Hi,

I installed KOReader on my Libra 2 and while I love the options once in the book (status bar, style tweaks, gestures, navigation, etc), I have to say that the KOReader library leaves a lot to be desired compared to the default Kobo library.

I miss the one tap library search and the collections/series tabs.

I expected a little better than a file browser-like display. 16 pages of authors is anything but convenient.

It's also impossible to sort my books by series order and name.

By the way, it lacks quite a few sorting options:

By number of books for each author/collection/series.
By number of words/pages (data available thanks to the "Count Pages" Calibre plug-in.
By reading status: unread, in progress, finished ("Sort by percentage" does not seem to work properly. The authors are sorted alphabetically.)

Any way to transfer reading status/location of each book between default Kobo and KOReader please?

Does the use of KOReader have an impact on the battery life?

I think I know the answer but is it possible to read a book with KOReader but browse the library with the built-in Kobo interface?
