An alternate (and superior) software suite for e-readers.
I use it on my Kobo Aura ONE.

Problem: Given an item in the Internet Archive, e.g. The works of Ralph Waldo Emerson, you may be tempted to download the PDF for its exactness. Admirable! However, my e-reader is horribly slow for opening it and turning pages. I find slow page turning aggravating; it makes me lose my train of thought and strains my reading comprehension.
Solution: Download a different format of individual images, bulk-scale them down exactly to your device's screen, then package the images back into one single file.
This extra work is well worth it for me.

TODO - See also PDF? I haven't tested it, but I wonder if "repairing" a PDF would also help with e-reader speed.

An E-book reader.
Because this is my first e-reader, I can't judge it against it's peers. It works well.
It is spectacular hardware-wise. Its software works, but it is sometimes obviously or even critically lacking. It lacking a file browser and respecting directories is bad enough that I can't really use it for its intended purpose, and almost regret buying it.
