I've followed your instructions to install KOReader and it works perfectly except for one glitch -- my sd card disappears from the Kobo library, although it is present in KOReader. This is a problem in that I installed KOReader to read pdf's, but I prefer the native Kobo reader for kepubs and sideloaded kepub.epub's from Calibre. As it happens, I store those and downloaded pdf's on the sd card. If I go into KOReader and open a pdf from the sdcard and then exit, the books from my sd card no longer appear in the native software. If I go back to KOReader, the sdcard still appears. To get it to reappear in the Kobo library, I have to reboot. Is this a common problem and is there a workaround? I'm using firmware 3.5.0

Thanks.
