I did that. It's a dirty hack, but it works.
Just hex-edited Sergey's /usr/bin/launcher binary.

launche2.png goes into /mnt/onboard
koreade-launcher.sh goes into /mnt/onboard/.kobo/koreader/

Note: There has been a problem reported that may be related to the launcher. I personally haven't seen any problems, but handle with care.

In case you see a direct boot into koreader, delete the launche2.png image from /mnt/onboard, and reboot. That should prevent the launcher from starting.
