Have any of you installed KOReader on an E-Reader? Curious if you think it's worth the hassle or not?

I just started using it and enjoy it thus far.

The only complaint thus far is that the app doesn't automatically display my book list by most recently read books. It may have that capability, but I haven't figured that out yet.

Is there a feature that specifically stands out to you? Like a killer feature?

No killer features, per se. But the ability to so easily change font size, contrast, etc all in one go, at any time is quite nice.

My cheapy Chinese e-reader's default app didn't allow for much of that.
