Hi guys.
So I'll be installing these MANUALLY.
I will have my PC the first time, but after that, when there's a firmware update I'll need to reinstall this stuff right? so I'll be on my Chromebook - which means I'll need to manually install them instead so I might as well do it the first time.

So, manually doing it, are there instructions in the package how to manually do it? or just for the one click?

If manually installing, can I choose KFMon or Nickel instead of both? If so, is one better, less prone to glitches, than the other?

So.... if you need KFMon or Nickel in order to start KOReader... does this mean, the Kobo Wakes, I Start KFMon/Nickel, then KOReader, then click a PDF to view ??? That really sounds like a bit - but is it smoother than that?

Little confused.
