Open-source KOReader is an alternative to the default Kindle interface
“Firstly, KOReader supports way more formats than the default Kindle reader. It can read EPUBs natively (no conversion required). It even loads digital comic book formats like CBZ and CBR natively, which Kindle doesn't. Office formats like DOC, DOCX, RTF, TXT, and HTML also work. PDF files work on both, but on KOReader you can enable text reflow to make the PDF intelligently fit the screen or even crop margins. On Kindle, extra PDF margins have always bothered me.”
Actually the only thing really going for Kindles was that mass of DRM locked content that Amazon sells. When it comes to the interface and features, it really looks like Amazon has not put enough effort into the software over the years.
KOReader makes a pretty good case for 3rd party apps being much better.
