It's possible to install the Koreader Debian builds on both Ubuntu and Debian distribution in Windows version that supports WSL. Once installed, you can launch koreader from Windows like a Linux GUI application using WSL. Some notes regarding the distributions:

  • On Debian, run this command for Koreader network to function properly:
sudo setcap cap_net_raw+p /bin/ping
  • To fix the SDL error in Koreader run logs, install these libraries:
sudo apt install libsdl2-dev
  • Koreader still runs normally without it, so this may not be neccessary
