It opens EPUB and PDF files, so either format from WP Downloader will work. EPUB is free for everyone and does not require a sign-in, making it the simpler option for this guide.
Installing KOReader on Kobo or Kindle is a separate, unofficial process. This guide assumes it is already running on your device.
