Thanks, that worked beautifully.

It might be a nice idea, for anyone else in this boat, to drop the old terminal plugin into contrib as well? Possibly re-name it as "Old Terminal" or maybe just something like "Command Runner..."

Anyway, I just moved /data/data/org.koreader.launcher/files/plugins/terminal.koplugin to /data/media/0/koreader/plugins/, fixed up the permissions, then did the KOReader upgrade, and the old terminal is still working exactly as it should. (I know that there are symlinks/fuse mounts/bind mounts to abstract away the true filesystem locations; I wanted the rename to be atomic, so I used the actual underlying paths. And these paths should work identically for all other Nook GL3/GLP users out there.)

Thanks again, and thanks everyone for all your work on KOReader.

Cheers!
