Hmm... You are uncomfortable about using mods that are based on the code that you brought to us? None of this development would have been possible without the work you and Sergey brought to the game. All of this starts with your port. I can't picture any of those who have provided mods, hacks, or tweaks raising any objection to you codifying and incorporating their efforts into a stable consistent whole or providing the result to the wider Koreader community.
As to the use of the zipped packages to automate and simplify the installation and use of the Koreader, and now Sergey's launcher and apps, think of it as an alternative method of installation that takes nothing away from the standard process. It just provides a way for those who might not need or want the skill set to follow the normal installation and customization steps, to enjoy the benefits of your Koreader port. It may become a popular way to go, but it won't be the only way.
There is a certain satisfaction to knowing that others will appreciate the coolness of some new trick you have wrung out of some unsuspecting code. Of this, I am sure you are aware. These efforts will continue as much for the gratification they provide as for any other reason. The pace may ebb and flow, and this last couple of weeks has been remarkable, but there is still plenty of potential Eureka! left in this effort.
Now if one of you could just make the touchscreen easier.
Luck;
Ken
