[conspire] KOReader e-reader replacement software

[Syeed Ali]

Highly recommended!  The software that comes with my reader is
well-maintained but lacks in a few places.

If you have a reader, or are thinking of getting one, consider
one of their supported devices. [2]

I installed it on my Kobo Aura ONE [1] by connecting it with a
computer (it detects as a mass storage device) then unpacking a zip
file into its root.  When the reader is disconnected it reboots.
Thereafter there is a new menu option which lets me launch KOReader.

Future updates by Kobo (they still maintain it) are non-destructive,
and I just unzip a smaller bootloader-style package to re-enable the
menu item.

I will check it out on Linux and Android eventually.
