It is to say that Cool Reader works in the right way (the pages are filled completely as expected), in the end as I found annoying to have to use a I-tunes like software to put the books instead of simply copy them in folders I'll use it

P.S. There is an application to read Comics? Kobo promised to read CBZ/CBR files: he reads one of 3 pages... a real one (100 pages or more?) make it crash

Hmmm... I don't read that many comic book files but my daughter does and seems to be quite happy with her Kobo as her emergency reader -- she prefers a colour display. Some of her comics are in the 80+MB size. I did have an issue on my desktop before I switched to Win7 where I had to locate and install an USB filter file from AMD to fix an issue with the Kobo disconnecting when I wrote large files to it.

Dang... I can't attach a kpg.conf file so will paste it in a code block below.

As usual you can modify the various patches but read some of the Patcher forum first. Metazoa has not issued an "official" patch so what you are seeing is what various people have found that works.
