Giorgio posts somewhere that the koreader builds are also meant as 1-step-hacks---at least after you have some way of running scripts s.a. filemonitor.
I found it a better practice to rename the old koreader directory to e.g. koreader397 and copy the new koreader next to it.
If you do not want to move dictionaries and OCR-files(dict and tessdata dirs in koreader/data) every time, the koreader_kobo.sh files allows you to define directories separate from the install:
# export trained OCR data directory
export TESSDATA_PREFIX="../_Dict"
# export dict directory
export STARDICT_DATA_DIR="../_Dict/dict"
This would allow you to store the dict and tessdata dirs in a separate, new directory called _Dict in the .kobo directory.
If you do not want to edit the koreader_kobo.sh script every time you rename and copy, than you could move it to the .kobo directory, too. Just remember to tell filemonitor where it is.
