Calibre is baked into koreader but go off. I was asking about sluggishness.

It's my only ereader after owning a paperwhite for years. Yeah, it's inferior. It sometimes doesn't register ~~a~~ several good, honest tap or swipes to turn pages ; it's having hard time making a difference between a swipe to change illumination and one to highlight text ; and sometimes you see some shadow text from other pages on your current page

But kobo do sell some books without DRM, you can sideload without even using calibre, and, most importantly, it's not an amazon product

I own a Clara HD. I don't find it sluggish (quite snappy unless it's trying to render badly formed PDFs, there is no ghosting after 3 years of regular use and my inputs are never wrong, but I have been using Koreader on it for all but month 1. It sounds like your screen is polling too slow if you're getting misinputs, or something else similar. Not an amazon product and doesn't give me ads either.

Seems I gotta try KOReader then, thanks!

Mine is a 2E, the only less-sluggish thing I found I could do was to limit the number of books on it, which seems ridiculous because I have zero PDFs, only epubs & barely using 2.3GB out of 16, and what does it have to do with page turns anyway ?

Ah, it'll remind me of the times I "hacked" my kindle just to display the cover of The Hitchhiker Guide To The Galaxy :)
