After initially installing KSM 08 on your KA1, did you then install the necessary patch as indicated in the instructions?

After doing that, I then followed the Koreader installation information found on this page:

https://github.com/koreader/koreader...n-Kobo-devices

I chose one of the more recent nightly builds to install. It was, at first, a little confusing how to do that.

First, click on the link for recent nightly builds:

http://build.koreader.rocks/download/nightly/

Then, LEFT click on the nightly build you are interested in.

Following that, RIGHT click on the second link with kobo in the title, and choose "Save link as..." It should save as a zipped folder. (If you click on the first link with kobo in the title, it will save as a TARGZ file and I haven't a clue as to how to use that.)

Then just follow the instructions for installing it on your KA1 by extracting the koreader folder from the zipped folder and dropping it in the .adds directory on your Kobo.

Hope it works for you because it really does make for a more pleasant PDF experience, especially when reading in landscape mode. I also really like how you can manually crop a PDF in Koreader.
i know this might seem like a crazy idea, but why don't Kobo make their devices/E-readers do the aforementioned above straight out of the box?

please forgive me if this makes sense.

best wishes koboy
