Code:
cat /koreader/kobohome.bin > /dev/input/event1
cat /koreader/kobohome.bin > /dev/input/event1
Have I made a mistake in directing to the koreader folder (where I have put the .bin file)?

(the reason I have koreader_kobo.sh outside of the koreader directory is because of a modification of the path to dictionary files, so that the modified koreader_kobo.sh file will not be modified every time I update the koreader version).
EDIT: you should use
Code:
cat ./koreader/kobohome.bin > /dev/input/event1
Before you looked for the nonexisting directory koreader in the root, while now you specify it as from the current directory ("./")


Interesing. I am not seeing anything wrong. However, why don't you follow along the steps and create your own bin-file.

If you're unsure how to get a command shell to issue the commands, then the fastest way is to use KoboLauncher for USBnet. The first time is the trickiest if I remember correctly, because you have to manually change the IP address of your koboreader. It appears as a --I believe-- NDIS Gadget. Select properties>Internet Protocol Version 4>Use the following IP address>IP address: 192.168.2.99. Done.
After that you can use Putty an telnet to 192.168.2.101 or WinSCP and FTP to 102.168.2.101. The user name is "root", password is empty. From WinSCP you can also lauch Putty during a FTP session.
