@wickyman
You are right, fmon is less invasive. I think there were some problems related to suspend that can be solved by using the start menu. However, I did not follow that discussion in detail . Maybe you better look into the koreader thread, or read the discussions on github. Informations are unfortunately dispersed all over the place. You could simply try to start koreader via fmon. If it works for you it is ok. If it doesn't, try the start menu. There is not much risk you take. A factory reset will bring you back to a clean device.

i wonder if its possible to display a picture when the device is powered off instead of text?
i fiddled around with the standard img-tag, but all i got was a "image could not be displayed"-like symbol instead of the actual picture. |

i see instructions on how to find the best width and heigth, but i see no code-example for displaying images using poweroff_info.html
i a total n00b when it comes to html, but when i open the modified html-file in windows it works, on the reader it doesnt. the poweroff.png is in the same folder as the poweroff_info.html so i guess its just not supported? (yet?) or am i missing something?? Code:
<html> <head> <title>kobo menu info</title> <style type="text/css"> p { margin-top: 0.5em; } </style> </head> <body> <img src="poweroff.png" height="1000" width="750"> </body> </html> |

You can avoid the issue for a Koreader install by using The Kobo Start Menu and not messing with the koreader.png at all. It is not needed, unless you want to launch it within Nickel, using fmon. Luck; Ken Last edited by Ken Maltby; 07-04-2014 at 11:23 AM. |

New Kobo is on its way, where can I find the newest version of Start Menu? Do I need to install one version and then some updates or is there somewhere "the latest" version?

Now to get on Gimp2 and see what kind of a poster I can make. ( The image display is quite good, but I had better find something that is not X rated for my powered off image.) Luck; Ken |

Be prepared that the display might appear to loose its sharpness. |

This is my first quick attempt:
Right it was created at the AuraHD's image size. This one looks like there is no loss of sharpness, but for photos it is often a different manner. Luck; Ken Last edited by Ken Maltby; 07-04-2014 at 05:27 PM. |

Since kbmessage (the executable that handles the image) unfortunately puts a frame around the image, you should see the scroll bars. Or does your <style type="image/png"> prevent this from happening? (Maybe I did something wrong when I tested the style definition.)
