Your editor has a certain tendency to accumulate books, to the point that
they crowd everything else out of the house. There is a lot to be said for
books: a physical book has a
user interface that has been optimized over centuries, and one can have a
reasonably high degree of certainty that any given book will still work a
few decades for now. Neither of those can be said for electronic books,
but they do have the advantages of taking less shelf space and being more
portable. So electronic books are part of the reading menu, which
naturally leads to the search for a free reader for those books; KOReader turns out to be an interesting
alternative.
