KFMon update not working

aalinovi · 03-10-2026, 05:32 PM

I have a Kobo Libre Color. After the latest Kobo update I am getting the generator error. I have a MacBook Air and after downloading the KFMon file I extracted it to /Volumes/KOBOeReader.

Now when i Tap the "More" menu on the Kobo homw screen it takes me to the
Kobo options page with "My Wishlist", "My Dropbox" and so forth.

Am I extracting KFMon to the wrong directory and if so where should I be extracting it to?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Don't use KFMon. Use NickelMenu.

Thanks but no good. I install nickel as you suggest but as soon as I eject Kobo from my laptop it is gone and I get the Kobo menu.

Here is the NickelMenu config to launch KOReader.

Code:

# Launch KOReader directly via NM (>= KOReader 2020.05)
menu_item : main : KOReader : cmd_spawn : quiet : exec /mnt/onboard/.adds/koreader/koreader.sh
