Hello! First of all, thank you for creating this plugin. I am trying the Kindle version on my Kobo device (Glo HD model). After experiencing some difficulties with continuous crashes when trying to open the plugin, I found a workaround. The problem, as similarly reported for other models among issues on Github, was related to the lack of automatic loopback set up. In case other people need it too, the workaround is as follows:

1. In Koreader go to Tools > More tools > Terminal emulator >Open terminal session
2. In the terminal window type:

Code:

ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1

and hit enter
3. Quit the terminal and the plugin should now open without issues

This procedure must be repeated each time Koreader is restarted. If you want to make the execution of this command automatic, you have to:

1. Plug the device into your pc
2. Go to .adds/koreader/scripts
3. Create a text file containing the command above and name it profile.user

This way you should not have any more problems launching Rakuyomi.

Now, I'd like to report a problem: installing versions 1.6 and 1.6.1 the rakuyomi item in the search menu disappears, making it impossible to launch the plugin. I am back to version 1.5 for the time being.

Now, regarding suggestions and requests:
- would it be possible to include an option to download multiple chapters at a time (e.g. chapter 4 through 10) and not all of them? For very long manga it would be ideal so that you have a reading supply without filling up all the reader's space.
- would it be possible to include the option to delete downloads from rakuyomi itself? Deleting read chapters from koreader's file manager is not intuitive given that the downloaded file names do not have chapter numbers
- alternatively, would it be possible to automatically rename the downloaded files with the chapter number (not sure if at the file name or metadata level)?

I do want to say that these would just be improvements to an already great plugin and I think it's a big step up from other solutions I've tried previously, so great job!

Let me know if you would prefer that I post these observations on GIthub as well.
