I haven't tested it, but I think you can sideload Libby or Kindle without a root. If you can find the Libby APK, you should be able to enable USB debugging (how to do that is mentioned earlier in this thread) with adb install LibbyAPK.apk, and if you have my stupid launcher app installed, you should be able to do it just fine.
I don't see any reason why Libby app *wouldn't* work without root, but as I said I haven't tried it. I can't really test now because it *is* rooted.
For what it's worth, we haven't observed any freezes when using KOReader.
