Probably the best multiformat reader avaible
It good, reliable and easy to use and the OPDS makes it the easiest to connect to commercial and private/personal libraries. The developer answers are sometimes hard to read (and may seem rude) but that is mostly a language issue. Some of the developer decisions are of questionable value - e.g., books wrongly labelled as iso1 when they should be labelled unicode8 are not displayed well on kybook while the Apple books app displays them well - and refusing the use of heuristics when others use them - made me to spend some time and effort to relabel some/many old books (with scripts) that where all usable in other readers. The decision to monetize by charging for sync through a subscription is understandable (the developer has to make a living too) but I am not sure it is wisest.

Truly Excellent Software that’s Stuck in Beta
I’m fairly certain only one programmer is responsible for the full library of KyBook versions. Every one of them has been well polished and well designed. This is no different, and for that, I applaud the dev. There are a few broken elements including the account creation (though it is superfluous) and some WebDAV integration (there are workarounds), but that doesn’t change diminish my rating at all. I’m sad that the updates seem to have stopped in the last 6 months because there is plenty of potential untapped. For instance, Goodreads integration and syncing metadata (reading position, notes, bookmarks, etc.) with a cloud. Hopefully, this project is not dead!

Love the versatility!
Super versatile app, at least in terms of the personalization aspect. You can rename all the files and sort them into many different folders (and have folders within those folders). It also accepts many different types of files, so that’s great compared to other apps I’ve tried to use for reading ebooks/PDFs/other file types. I’m a big fan, and already have a ton of books loaded in. I wish you didn’t have to pay a subscription to have your books sync across different devices. A one-time fee would be more reasonable, and I would be much more likely to pay it. Other than that, I love the app!
