You can use the regular Kindle viewer once you jailbroke your kindle, but KOReader has native epub and pdf support so you don't have to use a converter when uploading your books. I did find it hard to get the bezels to be even and it still doesn't always format well depending on the book. I still kind of prefer the default viewer. I use this plugin in KOReader which lets you download books from Z-Library within KOReader. https://github.com/ZlibraryKO/zlibrary.koplugin https://github.com/ZlibraryKO/zlibrary.koplugin Another cool thing is you can use custom fonts and dictionaries. I use the OED short version and the Wikipedia one. There's built in ones that it can download but pirated ones like OED you have to upload yourself. Unfortunately on MacOS it seems you have to use Amazon's app to access the filesystem. Edit: They changed it on the newer Kindle which I have. There's open source alternatives to the send to kindle app.

  The latest generation paperwhite (“PW6”) and color readers use MTP rather than acting as mass storage devices. I use OpenMTP rather than Amazon’s software, and that works fine for me.

same experience here, jailbroken Kindle, installed KOReader, tried it and returned back to default viewer, don't exactly remember the reason, maybe overcomplicated? (especially since it's device for my kids, it doesnt have internet access, I just put there books offline)

Another cool thing is you can use custom fonts and dictionaries. To be fair, it is now possible to load your favorite fonts onto baseline Kindle.

Where do you download the OED dictionary? I've never found a source for it, and assumed it was not available publicly.
