I will dig a bit more for a newer version, but maybe you could help me with my second question :
Does the update breaks KSM and Koreader ?
If yes, can they still be installed ?
(in case I still meet my nickel problems !).

Thank you
KSM includes the ability to handle an update (actually any KoboRoot.tgz in the .kobo folder), in two ways one way is a "partial update" that protects the KSM code added to the startup scripts, that the firmware update would otherwise overwrite. The other updating option is the full update, which is good for everything else but the firmware updates.

There is also the option to delete the KoboRoot.tgz, good for that unwanted download.

Luck;
Ken

Thanks for your help Ken.
What do you mean by "everything else" with the full update ?
If I understand, the full update will clear the scripts ?

The full update just applies the changes, additions and deletions as they are implemented in any KoboRoot.tgz file. This is how, in addition to the firmware, most patches/hacks/mods/ect.. are applied to the device.

The partial updating is intended to allow all the updating except to the few lines of script, in a couple of files, that KSM uses to intercept the startup of the device. This is normally only an issue for firmware updates. For "everything else", (additional software, tweaks, ect..) the startup scripts are seldom messed with, so all the actions included in the KoboRoot.tgz should proceed and the full update used.

Luck;
Ken
