A couple of questions:

If I install koreader, is there anything which a factory reset won't fix (ie, no risk of bricking the reader) if there are bugs in koreader?

I tried building it last night on my laptop (ubuntu 14.04) and all went well until close to the end, I got a 'can't find valid zlib' error. Has anyone else encountered this? I downloaded, built and installed zlib, but I still get the complaint.
Are you building the working environment to contribute to the project?

To use Koreader on your H20 you need to just install a launcher and the Koreader folder, on the H2O itself. There is no need to build anything on your PC, Windows or Linux. A guide.

You will need for your Linux PC to be set to see "hidden" folders like the ".kobo" folder, into which the update file is placed.

Theoretically, any code could become damaged and effect the OS, but it would be very odd to happen to Koreader. It would be even less likely than for the stock software.

Luck;
Ken
