Or this is how I thought it works.

Note: Since nobody reported about the upside down display, or about rebooting, I thought everything is running smooth and removed the reboot part in startreader.sh of the version for 3.3.0.
I am still using 3.2.0, but I am pretty sure that I am using KBStartMenu_04.zip. In fact I think I forgot to add the script entry to correct the orientation, that I used before, when I redid everything and used the KBStartMenu_04. The thing is I hardly ever enter Nickel anymore, and your Start Menu comes on so quickly that using the slide switch to power cycle is no hardship. I sometimes use Nickel to check the charging level and its sleep to get the battery% while it is charging.

Luck;
