In short, extract the zip to pocketbook as it is
When you then open Pocketbook, look in the application, you should see an icon or an application with the name koreader

Okay, I installed KoReader on my Touch HD 3. One thing that's
very important is to be wary of is
replacing your folders. I had several folders that I could have chosen to replace. Had I done that with the applications folder (at least), I would have had KoReader and
no other application. So I used
MERGE whenever I was asked if I wanted to replace, skip, etc. That might be what happened to Jim.
KoReader is much more ready "out of box" in my PocketBook than it was in my Nook Glowlight 3. One of the things I don't like though is, if I remove the status bar on the bottom (figured out how to do it), it still keeps the text space as if the status bar was still there. That lost space bothers me as the built-in reader does a good job of filling in the page.
I also haven't been able to figure out how go to a specific ePub page number. That's what I use to sync with my other readers. (It looks like it uses screens for page numbers by default, like a KePub. Is there a way to change that? I rarely use KePubs in my Kobos specifically because of this.)
EDIT 2: It looks like I'm wrong about how KoReader numbers pages. They stay consistent no matter what font size (5947 pages on the book I'm reading). But all other ePub readers show 2302 pages for this book. Not sure if that can be adjusted or not.
If I decide to uninstall KoReader is there anything specific I should know?
At this point I still like the built-in reader(s) in PocketBook better. But I'm sure there are features that I haven't explored yet in KoReader. If I can't get standard ePub page numbers, though, I'll probably remove the application.
EDIT: On a positive note, one thing I definitely like is the contrast setting. Much better than font weight settings, which alter the shape of the font.
