You can use the app MacroDroid to start a reader app right after booting the device. On the other hand it's just a tap on the start screen after booting to start a reader app. Each app that starts automatically like MacroDroid consumes energy and has an influence on the battery. So I would just tap on the reader app on the start screen.
Some apps offer widgets where you can display a certain number of recent or favourite books. Librera can display up to 50 books in the widget. As far as I know there's no widget for KOReader though.
These changes are something you can try on every Android device.
If you download Librera from F-Droid or github there are no ads displayed. Otherwise you can use a firewall like NetGuard to block every app you like to access the internet.
