I pronounce it co-reader. I guess you could also say "K.O. Reader." But that doesn't roll off the tongue as easily.

To me it's koreader (or co-reader if you find that clearer).

At first it was written KoReader, which pronunciation-wise seems clearer to me, but then it was changed to KOReader because apparently KoReader suggested a pronunciation like Korea to some. Which is a "problem" if you say kuh-ree-uh but not if you say koh-ree-uh.

I find kuh-READer a bit implausible as a reading for koreader myself, but perhaps as a native speaker of Dutch I have a stronger initial stress bias than English speakers. Or maybe it's non-native English speakers of non-Germanic origin who actually have the stress issue.

For historical context:
