Certainty it would be prudent to finish your current book, before further efforts. The use of an uSD card with ebooks behind a hidden folder, does not require installing any of the programs I mentioned.
You might want to connect your USB cable and copy all of the KoboReader drive to a folder on your PC. That way most of the programing will be backed up and you can restore your Kobo to most of its original state, without having to do a factory reset. This would also provide a copy of your SQLite database that you can copy over a corrupted one, when needed. (Having an image of your internal SD card would cover All of the programing.)
With that backup you can easily restore your device, removing any of the programs installed after you made the backup. The programs themselves are removed by just deleting their folders and .png files.
But, you don't need to install the programs to check on Nickel's involvement.
Luck;

Edit Reply: Linux based OSs like Kobo's treat any file or folder that has a name that starts with a dot/period/. as "hidden" unless directly addressed in a command.
Edit (2) reply: I thought there was a version that worked on the Touch, I'll have to look into it again.
