  2. Install a launcher * Install KPV Booklet, refer to this wiki. * Install KUAL, refer to the official thread
  3. Install KOReader 1. Download the latest Kindle package from this page. 1. Unzip the whole archive into the Kindle's USB root directory
  4. Install Stardict dictionaries (optional) * Copy Stardict format dictionary files (*.idx, *.ifo, *.dict) into the koreader/data/dict directory.
  5. Install Tesseract language data (optional) * Copy Tesseract-OCR language data files (eng.*) for Tesseract 3.02 into the koreader/data/tessdata directory.

Launching

via KPV Booklet

Just open any book from the native system, all files except for mobi and txt will be opened with KOReader.

via KUAL

After installing KOReader, you will see related entries in the KUAL menu. Just tap on it :). The (no framework) variants will kill the native GUI first, and restart it once you've quit KOReader (the goal being to gain some more free RAM).

NOTE: After a firmware update, you will most likely have to reinstall some stuff. Of particular importance to KOReader: KPVBooklet if you're using it, and MKK if you're using KUAL.
