What features of koreader do you use a lot?

I've been using koreader for quite a while now and there are some things in koreader missing from the kindle stock app that I really like so much). Here's the list of the koreader features I find very useful

  1. Custom lock screens - I love seeing how many minutes I've read and how much battery is left on my kindle without having to turn on the screen. The reading streaks also motivate me to read more.
  2. Read timer - sometimes I take 5-10 minutes break from work, and I use this time to read on my kindle. The read timer keeps me from reading beyond my break time.
  3. Copy epubs to local storage - being able to open books instantly after copying them to my kindle's local storage is a timesaver. In the past, I used to use the send to kindle email feature but I found that it takes quite a while for the books to show up in my kindle library.
  4. Copy + paste feature - I'm not sure if this exists in the kindle app, but sometimes I have one book referencing another book. In those cases, I would copy the passage from the other book to the book I'm currently reading as a note. This was only possible because of the copy+paste feature of koreader.
  5. Invert highlight style - I like highlighting my books and I find it easier to spot highlighted passages when I use the "invert" highlight style from koreader.

So far these are the 5 things I love so much about koreader. What features do you use the most?
