What is ko reader is it a replacement for the standard OS? My kobo could probably use that.

You can watch This Video by DammitJeff great video about jailbreaking kindle and showcasing KOreader's various uses like Custom Lock Screen, Manga Reading, using Net Library / Calibre and much more using the plug-in Systems. The video can be used for Kobo reader too, I think.

It's not an entire OS, just an app that you can use to read ebooks with lots of features.

May I ask why? I've got an old Aura H2O and it's been great for years

There's a lot of benefits but for me the biggest one is reduced lag

Well, I thought it was an os replacement. I never got around to learning about it, but the current kobo I have can’t be activated if it were to get reset.
