Simply make the Menu more consistent and not show KOReader in case it's not installed, should be enough.

If such is the case, then the problem should show with(out) Midori installed also.
As documented in the first post of the thread, both Midori and KOReader are too large to be bundled with the Kindle Menu package.
Those two packages depend on the user to install them.
I.E: That is why they are "missing" (PEBCAK and/or tl;dr).
The Kindle does not have a "package management" system such as found on full Linux (and *nix) systems.
So detecting the presence or absence of Midori and KOReader is not all that simple.
I.E: Kindle Menu installation would have to be able to tell the difference between "installed now / will be installed / will never be installed" if it was going to provide the menu entries for them.
The Kindle Menu could depend on the Midori and KOReader installation process to detect if Kindle Menu was installed and let those package installation processes conditionally provide the menu entries.
Which would have two (or more) packages writing into the data files of the third.
Sorry, we are not that organized here to coordinate among three (or more) independent developments / developer teams.
Another way -
Aeris has her source code published in a public repository (some where) - - or since this is all scripting, the release is the source code.
Someone could submit a patch to her source that would do (Kindle Menu) run-time checking for Midori / KOReader and then conditional display of the corresponding menu entries.

Isn't open source just great?
You don't like it the way it is now?
Just post a patch here to change it and you will have it with as much consistency as you care to write.
