Lots of nice features but the UX and UI are so painful that it's not worth jumping from the stock kobo reader for me.

It's nice to have another option though and if the UX improves one day maybe I'll use it as my main reader.

I don't like the UX but the extra controls on ebook rendering was worth the pain for me, since almost all of my time is just reading the ebook anyways.
I got to the same conclusion. Installation was also painful; understandable, these platforms are clumsy.

The software itself is magic, kudos to all the developers and community.

Came to the same conclusion too – I appreciate that it exists, but the UI felt really complicated and disorganized.
Being able to read magazines was a big upgrade for me v the native kobo reader
