Kobo is relying too heavily on 3rd parties for their software, such as Dropbox, Overdrive, Pocket, and Device Repairs. This is coming to haunt them.

      How would koreader make my experience better on kindle (that I don’t connect to the internet and use entirely with calibre)?

        Good question. I used my kindle in the same way, and I found Koreader was just more feature rich (and snappier). The dark mode I was missing was back and when I opened it, it went straight to my library instead of a dumb storefront. It might not be worth the effort if you are satisfied with your experience of a kindle in airplane mode with your calibre library on there, but I enjoy the features and the open source aspect.

        (Edit: I forgot to mention that I now use a Kobo Clara color after my old oasis died)
