Maybe I should replace "read" by "open" in future versions. "Read" treats all files (apart from some image formats) as text files and tries to display them (accepting some html tags). Since I learned that koreader accepts the name of an input file as argument and had a little play with it (cf. this post), I might easily associate some file types with koreader.

Your are right the "browser" is awkward. For some situations however it can be useful. I use it if I want to have things like notes and street maps and so on easily accessible without having to do much preparation. I put the files (images and texts) into a folder and have a browse_xxx.msh (in the folder .kobo/kobomenu/scripts/browse) point to it. One can use any file in that folder as a template; edit the value of "targetdir."
