Steps to Install KOReader

1. Install a File Manager:
   • Use APKPure (available in the AiPaper App Store) to install a file manager. I used FX File Explorer, which works well for managing APK files.
2. Download the KOReader APK:
   • Open Chrome on your AiPaper and go to the KOReader GitHub page.
   • Follow their installation guide, which will take you to the releases page.
   • Scroll down to the Assets section and download the latest version, such as koreader-android-arm-v2024.07.apk.
3. Install KOReader:
   • Once the download completes, open FX File Explorer.
   • Navigate to the Download folder and click on koreader-android-arm-v2024.07.apk to start the installation.
   • If prompted to allow installation from unknown sources, follow the prompt to Settings, enable unknown sources, and return to complete the installation.
4. Using KOReader on AiPaper:
   • KOReader doesn’t respond to AiPaper’s physical “Back” button, so to exit, use the in-app KOReader menu instead.
   • The Power button works as usual, so you can sleep and wake the device while using KOReader without issue.
5. Updating KOReader in the Future:
   • For future updates, download the latest .apk file and repeat the steps above. Selecting the new .apk will prompt an update rather than reinstalling, and your settings (like Calibre wireless sync) should remain unchanged.

Extra Tip: If downloading directly to the AiPaper isn’t possible, you can also use FTP (file transfer protocol) to transfer the .apk file to your device.
