I'm with DNSB on both KOReader and Calibre.

I find that heavily patched default reader is basically perfect for my needs. I've tried KOReader; it has thousands of different customization options, but I don't need most of them, as I edit my ebooks in Calibre before loading them on my Kobos. And KOReader has only a file browser, no library manager, so I couldn't sort and find my books easily there. The default reader takes the metadata from Calibre - everything, including series info and collections, is transferred automatically over when I connect my Kobo to Calibre. This makes it very easy to find anything I'm looking for on my Kobo.

From what I've read here, most ardent supporters of KOReader don't edit the formatting of their ebooks and want the reading app to do it instead. That's certainly where KOReader shines. Those who edit their books themselves usually find that KOReader is overkill for them.
