@LyrasDeamon:

* That might just be nickel's "show information" setting, which I can't remember the name of right now. I've never used that, so I honestly can't tell you when it does this vs. when it does the popup-thingy. Probably a setting or a patch. Completely unrelated to KOReader, though.

* That plugin is entirely unnecessary, and actually actively harmful on Kobo. The Kobo driver handles all of that much better all on its own, c.f., its own settings, which offer ample options about how to treat the cover thumbnails.
(You generally shouldn't care about the actual in-book cover, and should leave it in its native state, both Nickel and KOReader will do right by it when paging to it).

EDIT: Speaking of, the Kobo Utilities plugin has a "Send cover thumbnails" option that goes through the driver, and as such might very well fix issue number one in the process

.

* The frontlight setting *is* actually the only thing that is kept in sync (both ways) with Nickel

.

* As for the interactivity issue, that should *really* not be the case, unless you're specifically talking about modifying settings inside an ePub that actively affect its rendering, as *that* will take some time. But general navigation in menus, books & stuff should be pretty much instantaneous.

EDIT: See this post for the kind of reactivity you should be seeing.
