So when I disconnect my Kobo and even restart it, the Koreader icon just opens as a big pic, without launching Koreader.

What do I do wrong?

KoboRoot.tgz should wind up in the .kobo directory. Anywhere else, it's just a waste of space.

When you safely eject your Kobo, it should return to the normal GUI for a few seconds then install the KoboRoot.tgz and then reboot.

Looking at KFMon-v1.3.3.zip file and assuming you have no remnants from a previous install, you should see 2 new directories ( icons and .adds) and two new files (koreader.png and kfmon.png) in the root directories. If you look in the .kobo directory, you should see several directories and files, one of which should be KoboRoot.tgz.

If you are on a Unix style OS (Linux, Mac OSX), you will have to enable displaying hidden files/directories ( they start with a . ).
