I don't use KFMon, so I can't tell much about it, as I don't know it, but KSM is "complete" "device manager" (or I could loose quote marks?).
It doesn't read ebooks, but manages software that does. It can set your time (through wifi and ntp server), it has terminal program (if you need direct access to your devices shell), it can connect to your computer through USB, etc, etc...
From what I know (and I may be really wrong there) KFMon just enables you to start koreader. With KSM you don't need anything else, it is complete package, you don't need nickel, you don't need to update firmware, etc.
It is completely working combo KSM and koreader, that is all you need for your reading needs.
And yes, I don't know everything what KSM provides, as I don't need everything it provides, but my base use is:
-managing USB (for books upload, etc).
-managing time
-starting koreader (though koreader can set date and time now, but it wasn't able before) or other readers (but I'm with koreader).
