I'm looking for recommendations. I usually use Overdrive with books I've downloaded (I think in the epub format). But now I hear that Overdrive is no longer being supported (I think the company wants people to use their Libby app instead). I'm hoping to find something open source and privacy minded. Also not wild about what Overdrive is doing to public libraries.

Koreader is built from the ground up for eink devices, it is great.

And you mentioning koreader, and a helpful discussion of the topic on koreaders github, helped me finally find an open source reader that does vertical text correctly.

Thorium, sadly not koreader, does Japanese vertical writing correctly and I'm very happy right now.
