The koreader file in the nm directory will have the line enabling launching from kfmon enabled and the line enabling launching from NickelMenu disabled.

# Launch KOReader via KFMon
# NOTE: .adds/nm/kfmon will generate this automatically
#menu_item : main : KOReader : kfmon     : koreader.png

# Launch KOReader directly via NM (>= KOReader 2020.05)
#menu_item : main : KOReader : cmd_spawn : quiet : exec /mnt/onboard/.adds/koreader/koreader.sh

You can delete the first four lines in that file and remove the # from the start of the #menu_item line. This will leave the file looking like this:

# Launch KOReader directly via NM (>= KOReader 2020.05)
menu_item : main : KOReader : cmd_spawn : quiet : exec /mnt/onboard/.adds/koreader/koreader.sh

Is the doc file in the nm directory the config file for NickelMenu?

No. Basically all the commands are documented in that file with any sample commands commented out. You should not use this file to generate your NickelMenu setup since it will be overwritten when a new version of NM is installed. Use another file for your working config.

For me, I uninstalled KFMON since I used NickelMenu directly to launch KOReader and Plato. It can used for quite a few other purposes but I find NickelMenu to be easier to use. Unless you want to hunt for the trigger png files, you end up setting them up in NickelMenu.

Sorry if I am misunderstanding you, I am trying my best and thank you for your patience!

I would suggest editing the koreader file in the nm directory as suggested in the second code box above. I've also attached a text file that can be placed in the nm directory which adds a few functions I find useful. You can use it as a sample to see what others are doing. If you use this one, you can remove the kfmon and koreader files.
