Nice, thank you! One just have to change the ["lastfile"] setting in settings.reader.lua to whatever the opening file should be, and koreader starts with opening that book, no matter if it was in history before or not!

My idea is to trigger or check the Kobo database for a pdf opening, stop or pause nickel, and open the pdf in koreader. Or if the database watching takes too much resources, then something like fmon, but with dynamic file names.

As for the new file manager for koreader, I don't know if it's gonna happen, and if it will, it's not even sure if there will be covers for unopened books. It seems they want to add features only for the books in the history, which is also nice, and the current one is usable for a tech engineer or professional, but not always practical for a simple user.
