Thank you for your answer.

- 1. Don't do that from the device itself, it's a terrible idea.

I'm confused. Device=Kobo? When I download, the zip file goes to the folder "Download (télépchargements)" in my MacAir. I opend the zip file, and the opened file is in the same folder. From there, I copied-pasted the opened file in KOBO folder. I repeated the same thing for "install" zip file.
So, these two unzipped files are in the same folder of KOBO not in my Mac. Isn't that correct to do?

2- Try reading what's shown on your screen?

I read that, I guess, it means that the application (Koreader) is not installed in the device (Kobo), is that right? But I see these two files that I downloaded in Kobo folder (Kobo is connected to Mac, and so I see KOBO folder in Mac Finder)

3- DRM means KOReader/Plato won't be of any help on the library books front.

I see, but I don't use Koreader to read library books. I chose Kobo, because it's made to be compatible to read library books unlike Kindle, plus, I can comfortably read PDF by installing Koreader even though original system of Kobo is not so good to read PDF. That's what I learned from reviews.

I still don't get the solution to install KOreader.
Thank you all for advices and sorry again to disturb you.
