Basically the procedure to make simple change in home screen is to

1. Unpack EbookHome.apk with apktool
2. Modify AndroidManifest.xml to implement desired change to home screen buttons
3. Repack EbookHome.apk and replace original apk with Root Exploer.


Please, confirm.

Thanks.
You're overcomplicating it!

See the readme.txt in the top of the zip file - it says to copy the homemod folder to the internal storage (sdcard) on the reader. Then you edit the homemod.xml file to suit.

You can either use flash_reader.bat to install the new home app or copy the apk and install with root explorer. You do not modify the apk at all - all config is driven from the homemod.xml file.

Cheers,
Simon.
