  • Its much more responsive in my experience. It supports a wide range of options, has gestures for controlling certain settings (i.e. brightness and warmness) allows position syncing with other KOReader devices (Another reader,Android App for example), browsing and downloading from OPDS catalogs and Calibre instances, Downloading saved articles from Wallabag instances.

    Honestly the only thing I use the stock Kobo software for is to launch KOReader. It does everything the stock software does but better.

    I should mention, you install KOReader and its dependencies on top of the regular firmware, not over it. You can use them side by side








  • Like another commenter said, Mopidy can do it all in one instance. It works, but I personally find its integration with MPD clients to be a bit clunky so I don’t use it all that much.

    Personally I use Snapcast as an endpoint, plain MPD for local files, and navidrome for remote access to my library.

    Snapcast supports Spotify endpoints, so I just switch to my Spotify stream when I want to listen to Spotify and to my MPD stream when I want to listen to local stuff.

    This is more of an ecosystem than a single solution though, so it may not be what you’re looking for.
