Basically there should be no reason to hack koreader as it's open source and can be changed directly, vs. nickel which we can only find creative ways to work around.

@frostschutz Hi and thank you for the reply. I wasn't aware that I could set a custom ss within Koreader! I must have missed that part. I have a better understanding now. Thanks again.

@meeera Hi, it's just that I have too many pdf files and everyone seemed to insist on having Koreader especially when it comes to viewing pdf's. I read that it's far better than the default viewer on Kobo's(or any e-ink devices). Thank you for the input!

@murraypaul Thank you for your reply. I guess I should just try playing with the device as it is for now and give nickel a thorough try before considering Koreader.
Thank you all very much for replying. Very much appreciated.
