My procedure for Touch HD:

Fresh installation to applications/ only. I don't merge the system/ directory.

After that, I changed
koreader/frontend/device/pocketbook/device.lua

There is the line

Code:

    emu_events_dev = "/var/dev/shm/emu_events",

It should be

Code:

    emu_events_dev = "/dev/shm/emu_events",

That's it. And the refresh problems that used to be there in the previous version I had installed are drastically reduced now.

Edit: Oops, I remembered that I saved the history file also from the previous installation. But that's really it, nothing else.

Pocketbook's inbuilt software is adequate for everything. I only have one quibble: Invert colors are missing. I wish invert colors worked across the whole device.

Coolreader fixes this for epubs. Koreader is very good for reading pdf's and djvu's where text is in a single column. For multiple columns, Pocketbook's inbuilt multi-column mode with common-sense tap-forward is better again.
