After installing KOReader, I have been trying to work my way through i, seeing how it works, and if it will be right for me. The attached screenshots are all labelled "differences" because I'm hoping that the problems are no more than that, differences in how to achieve certain ends, and that the solution lies in my learning the ways KOReader can deliver.

Difference 1: As the screenshot shows, I have been unable to get a "graphical" homepage like the Nickel default, despite selecting an option that I thought sounded right. I really like seeing all the covers on display, and would love to be able to do this in KOReader


Difference 2:
Despite setting the screen>orientation options as mentioned in another thread, I discovered that on powering off and restarting, or rebooting, the orientation inversion returns

Difference 3:
This book of poems has the devanagari (L) and nastaliq (R) text presented as images. The screenshot shows the difference between the way the book opens. Also, the zooming of the image is more easily controlled in Nickel, pinch to zoom functions well to reach the best size available for reading on the 7 inch screen. The zoom in KOReader for these images seems more jerky, and less fine-grained.

Difference 4:
Saving the worst until last. This is a sideloaded copy of a book I bought from the Kobo store. The difference in rendering is pretty extreme.

All the books on my device are kepubs. Are the issues outlines above and depicted in the screenshots fixable?
