On: My Life in E-Ink

If I'm understanding this correctly, koreader will let me read epubs on an Amazon Kindle. Am I right to be excited?

Yes, but you need to jailbreak your Kindle to install it. If your Kindle is recent or anywhere near the latest release - it can't be rooted.

[cube2222 → politelemon]

I think you can do this with a stock Kindle, by sending the epub to the email address of your Kindle (which you can find in your account settings).

[mellosouls → cube2222]

No, epubs - presumably as a competitor format - are not supported.

You can do it (email "conversion" - often just a horrible mish-mash of text and images) with PDFs and text etc.

Epubs need to be converted first by a third party service, eg calibre.

Where by “competitor” read “defined and standard”.

Yup, it will.
