To me, it's THE best PDF reader on NGP (because it reflows scanned PDF files).

Here the method to install it on NGP which I have personally tested:

1. First of all, you need to root NGP and put a folder called "koreader" under root.
2. Extract attached "patch.lua" file under "koreader" folder.
3. Install this stable version of Koreader.
https://github.com/koreader/koreader....11-stable.apk
4. Restart NGP (you may need to restart more than once if it shows black screen).

You can also change fonts of Koreader here:
data/data/org.koreader.launcher/files/fonts/
I tried these instructions, but koreader keeps crashing. Can you clarify what you mean by "under root"? I tried creating the directory under "/" and under "/root", but it gets removed on reboot.
