This is so true. KOReader is not for an everyday Joe. Most people just want to read without all the configurations that are too complicated.
I am tech-savvy enough, but I think there are just too many options. I find myself playing with settings instead of reading.
The bottom line was when PB updated the software and I needed to re-install KOReader for some reason. That was enough for me to ditch it and go to built-in OS no matter the brand.
The main problem is only syncing between devices (mostly of sideloaded books) if that is the priority. PocketBook shines here with their PB Cloud as it syncs all books. And it is clever too, it won't auto-sync borrowed books which is great. My library allows it only on two devices.
With Kobo, it syncs only books bought from their store. I don't like it, but understandable.
Kindle (not owning one, yet) same as Kobo.
But I asked myself for my reading habits, do I really need syncing? Currently, no, I read one book on one reader in bed, another book on another reader etc. For now it works.
Okay, I allow myself to become a strong KOReader supporter in a few years, who knows
