KOReader and I am guessing Plato aren’t going to utilize anything from Nickel, which is done by design otherwise battery life would be cut down considerably and you’d have a lot of potential bugs in how the two interact.

So yes you’ll need to disable Bluetooth before switching to KOReader or Plato. I would guess this could be done with nickelmenu so you have one button which first disabled Bluetooth then upon successfully disabling Bluetooth launches KOReader or Plato. From there you’ll have to enable Bluetooth if these apps don’t support auto pairing.

Note I’m assuming that turning off Bluetooth on the Kobo side also successfully tells whatever you’re using as a page turner that it’s disconnected.

As to getting the page turner to work with KOReader and Plato if it doesn’t do so out of the gate you’ll have to post over in the KOReader forums. There’s nothing this plugin can do to affect those apps since it’s built for nickel. Though I suspect you’ll find KOReader at least probably has some support for this already.

I’d offer more help but I don’t use KOReader because it drains the battery on my Sage rather faster than I like, I’ve never used Plato, and I have no use for a Bluetooth page turner so I’ve not used this plugin.
