what are the main benefits of doing so? I'm missing what's the deal with jailbreak in this case, using thee transfer via USB? what's the best thing i can do afterwards?

I use Koreader on my Kobo ereader for a few reasons:

- Much much faster than stock interface

- More customisable

- Comes with an ssh server. I load a static rsync binary and use rsync for syncing the library

- Much better for reading manga. Supports cbz, cbr format natively. Has the ability to clip empty space around the content to make reading on a small screen easier.

Use it as an external display or control center; it's hard to find decent and affordable standalone e-ink screens.
Koreader is why I'll be doing it.

PDFs that don't suck, I hear.

Is there a site that calls out how to load this post jailbreak?
