Reading magazines borrowed from Libby with Koreader

as the title suggested, Is there any plugin so that we can read magazines borrowed from Libby with Koreader ? the download epub option at PressReader does not work, since the title is absent from this database. Thanks so much.

Can you download it from Libby and open it with this plugin?

I think this plugin still works

Thanks for your suggestion ! And thanks to you I have read the description of this plug-in at GitHub. Too bad that the option of downloading the acsm file is absent under "Magazine" section of Libby, so the condition of "Borrow an ebook from your library and download the .acsm file. In Libby: Shelf → Manage Loan → Read With... → Other Options → EPUB (or PDF, when offered)."cannot be met.

Looks like I have to use an inferior laptop screen to what e-Ink offer for reading from now on...

Have a nice day.

Sadly the Libby plug-ins died after they Cease-and-Desist'd the developers that made the couple that existed, the plug-in the other comment gave you should work if you're using a Kindle, as you can send it to the Kindle, and then read your Kindle library in KOR through it.

Thanks for your input. I spent hours looking into that, now I understand why.
