Of course you can launch it via NickelMenu, but after that you can't come back without a reboot
I think it'd be possible to start it standalone in the init/rcS script (which starts Nickel at boot), but I think that that's not most users would want. Therefore, the KoboRoot.tgz would come bundled with NickelMenu.

Also, editing the rcS init script can lead to dangerous consequences; might brick the Kobo if failing to start X (hopefully SSH access would be available) and thus requiring a factory hard reset by booting on the recoveryfs partition.
What I'm saying is, can I still read books (not in Xorg)?
