Hello I've bought a Kobo Aura HD and I want to install CoolReader in it I've some question before proceed:

Kobo has forced me to update the device on first boot so now I've firmware 3.1.0 (if I remember correctly). There are some know problem to use this hack with this firmware? There is the possibility to brick the device?
I'm (already) hating how the Kobo firmware orders the ebooks stripping all the series numbers so they appear on "random" order... yes I could use Calibre (and probably I'll try again but it is very complex... with the Sony simply failed! Let's see with the Kobo). Coolreader has a file manager correct? So I can order my series as I want simply creating a folder
A thing I'm missing and that the Sony Reader had is the possibility to change page forward using the right hand... I don't know why but it is more natural for me! Now if I'm distracted I turn the pages backward! It is this configurable in CoolReader?
CoolReader is better than the default reader? This is the first EPUB I'm reading so it is not so much to do a static, the Sony doesn't make me change the font size with this(!) and the Kobo does this is, but sometimes the hyphenation is wrong (that is there is the space i the page and indeed there is no line break!) and sometime page are only half filled only or contain only a row! But maybe this EPUB is not well done...
