That certainly looks easy enough, if I ever go back to KOreader, I'll upgrade the memory first. But I decided not to keep it (for now at least, Cool Reader seems better suited for me) and it uninstalled perfectly using the 3.3.1 uninstaller tshering was nice enough to post on the previous page, no problems at all.
But before uninstalling I've was reading on it for a several hours, clicking everything in sight changing options, closing it, starting it, etc., trying to make it freeze up and it hasn't frozen up again. Maybe when it locks up while in the settings menu, it corrupts something. So if you're still getting freezes after installing 4.0, 4.0a, and the preventfreeze.zip patch, I'd suggest first reinstalling the preventfreeze patch again. It definitely seems to have stopped the freezing for me. |

This thread is a sticky. If you mean "Ripplinger's" reinstall preventfreeze comment, I could add it to the guide along with the link.

Hi
Using the new Aura H2O: koreader freezes. The main title of koreader is higher than normal with the top one-third of the text cut off the top margin. The text is also smaller than normal, compared to the Aura HD (works fine on the HD). Also, CoolReader does not work properly. It loads fine, but the menu system is not responsive. Nothing can be selected, not even the exit button. Needed to reboot the device. Any suggestions. SH |

Added newest Features list to Post#6
Added Note that Koreader users should use one of the two other launchers, instead of "fmon". Luck; Ken |

The one in KOreader looks a little like windows explorer, but it only lists folders and files that the program can read/display. Luck; Ken Last edited by Ken Maltby; 11-16-2014 at 08:13 AM. |

For Koreader all you need do is copy the koreader folder from the download zip file, into the .kobo directory of your kobo device. Luck; Ken Last edited by Ken Maltby; 11-20-2014 at 07:53 PM. |

Thank you very much!
Let me first thank you for your excellent work!!!!
With your help I was finally able to install the startmenu and koreader. All other description caused serious problems (Koreader explained for example "file missing" - all in all I was forced for 3 Hardresets and was considering to sent the reader back. But now everthing works! With two minor problems: First calibre has not detected my hidden book file. So I must synchronise with a folder on my desktop (windows 7) and than synchronise this file with the folder in Kobo - but ok I can live with. Do you know by chance (I know this belongs to calibre issues in first line, sorry) if there is a possibility to organize my books in genres - I have done that in Calibre and it works fine with my Android mobile via Calibre Companion, but is there a possibility with Kobo as well. And second I was not able to adapt the Koreader to the size of my screen on every second page or so a line is missing or shown only partial Sorry for this lengthly reply |

To select an "in-box" folder you long press the folder you want to use and answer the popup. Not sure I understand your second issue, is that with PDFs? Luck; Ken Last edited by Ken Maltby; 01-08-2015 at 10:11 AM. |
