KOReader on Aura One & Patches
I bought an Aura One almost the day they were released, so have much experience there, but none with KOReader, although I would like to experiment with its PDF display.
My question: My Aura One is heavily patched, because I like to fiddle so much with the screen display. If I install KOReader, do those patches still persist when I'm in Nickel? What worries me is that it looks like I replace a key file to get KOReader installed, and am not sure whether I would be abandoning my patches or not. Thanks for any information. Paul |

Your patches will not be touched at all.

One of KOReader's most prominent features - It is very "Fiddle Friendly".

Thanks to both of you. In that case, I'm looking forward to adding KOReader, and will do so this week.

A question follows. I've loaded Kobo Start Menu 09, then followed by downloading KOReader: koreader-kobo-arm-linux-gnueabihf-v2015.11-stable.zip. Followed directions by unpacking the latter and sendng the koreader folder to the .adds folder on my device. But what I see now is the KSM menu listing Nickel but not KOReader, so I'm obviously missing something. Can anyone guide me?
Many thanks. Paul |

Odd -- I now see KOReader as an option, but when I press it, the screen just flashes once and the same menu continues to be displayed. Clearly I've done something wrong here. Go back and start from scratch?

Once you have the koreader folder, from the download package, in the .adds directory of your device, KSM should see it when it is started up. You might want to try the current nightly for KOReader at "http://build.koreader.rocks/download...ec_2018-03-25/", as there have been a number of Aura One related fixes since the "stable" release. There are also versions for Kindle, you could try.

Thanks, Ken. I'll go get the nightly build and try that. I assume I just install over the existing KOReader folder in .adds, right?

Never mind, it's now working. And I must say, very nice! What a change of pace for PDFs. I look forward to spending the afternoon exploring KOReader.

I think that KSM installs .adds dir if installed.
