I love koreader, it has become my only way of reading files in a screen and organizing an extensive collection of epubs, pdfs, .txt files and rss feeds. I love Koreader so much that i would like to have ONLY it show up on my Kobo N613 when turning on and off.

I don't care about other extensions, and i proactivelly want to erase all rakuten code stuff from my device for privacy concerns, and also having only or almost only Libre Software in it. Not to mention that turning directly into Koreader would be much faster than dealing with the home screen. I only side-load to it, or download from wikipedia or rss through koreader.

So, is there any way to have only Koreader stuff on my Kobo ?

I asked this same question in the Github of Koreader, and a person there recommended me to install a project named OKreader (https://github.com/lgeek/okreader). The problem is it seems to be an abandoned project, and i was not able to follow the instructions set on the git page. Has anyone here ever installed it on a Kobo ? If yes, can you describe it better. Or has someone found another way to have a full KoreaderOS ?
