Hello,

My Kobo Touch (N905B) has mostly sat around collecting dust in favor of my trusty Sony PRS-300, as it has a terrible habit of freezing up. It might have gotten better with the latest firmware update (4.8).

Regardless, I have a 6 MB .mobi file I want to read, and opening it in Nickel causes the eReader to reboot when I simply try to advance a couple of pages, so I figured it was time to check out KSM and KOReader.

So far everything seems to be installed correctly - I have KSM 9 with update 2 from this thread, and I downloaded the stable build of KOReader from the Github repository. And after much furious tapping, I was finally able to open my .mobi file.

I have two questions, really:
-Should I be using the "nightly build" of KOReader? This is an ancient model of Kobo and I certainly don't need any advanced features.
-What, exactly, are the gestures supposed to be!? I know there's a list on the Wiki at https://github.com/koreader/koreader...eader-Gestures , but none of them seem to work as they should. Tapping in the top right seems to bookmark, but tapping in the top center just goes to the next page. Swiping from the top upwards goes to the previous page. I brought up the menu and keyboard at some point, but I'm not exactly sure how. Do I need to re-calibrate my screen or something?
