I finally installed Koreader\footnote{\url{http://koreader.rocks/}}!

Here's some notes of what I did:

Downloaded \texttt{koreader-kobo-v2022.03.1.zip} from \url{https://github.com/koreader/koreader/releases} and extracted to the root of the device.

Add the following to \texttt{.kobo/Kobo/Kobo eReader.conf}:

\lstset{language={}}\begin{lstlisting}
[FeatureSettings]
ExcludeSyncFolders=(\\.(?!kobo|adobe).+|([^.][^/]*/)+\\..+)
\end{lstlisting}
Restarted, and it ended up back in the normal system. Oh, I didn't follow the instructions\footnote{\url{https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=314220}}… try again with downloading \texttt{OCP-KOReader-v2022.03.1.zip} from that forum post, and extracting \emph{that} to the root. Unmounted the device, and it did much more flashing and gurgling this time. When it restarted, there was a new \textbf{Koreader} item in the main menu! Wonderful.

To enable OPDS, go to the search menu (the magnifying glass icon) and down to "OPDS". Then add a catalogue URL. Wikisource is https://ws-export.wmcloud.org/opds/en/Ready_for_export.xml\footnote{\url{https://ws-export.wmcloud.org/opds/en/Ready\_for\_export.xml}} — unfortunately, it seems the only way to get it in there is to type it in by hand, and I kept making mistakes. I tried three times before I realised that it was possible to \emph{long-press on a catalogue name to get to an edit dialogue}.

Then, I had access to 45 pages of Wikisource's works. Unfortunately, they're in alphabetical order by title so it's a bit weird to browse them in this way. But, still, it's a terrific start and much easier than copying epubs from my laptop.

All in all, Koreader seems much much faster, and has many more features… and why didn't I do this ages ago?!
