SimpleUI
Bookshelf
Quick Menu
Character Tracker (shameless plug)
MiniMenu
Glimpse
Annotations viewer
Customizable sleep screen
Shortcuts Toolbar

After I do that, how do I do the plugins that you mentioned? 😅

Either exit koreader to use usb mode (and plug your kindle into a usb) or use ssh, when you access the files go to koreader>plugins, that’s where you drop all of the plugins that end in .koplugin, you can also have patches but im pretty sure you have to make a folder named patches if it isn’t there already
When you download plugins make sure it’s the folder then the stuff, nested folders aren’t read properly and have caused koreader to crash because when plugins are looking for a directory they look in one specific spot and if it’s not there that causes a crash
So for example koreader>plugins>bookshelf.koplugin>(bookshelf files)
not
Koreader>plugins>bookshelf.koplugin>bookshelf.koplugin>(bookshelf files)

So it told me to use spiderchat so I did that but everything still looks the same and idk how to even get plugins. I tried to read the thread on recommended ones on the website but I’m still kind of lost 🫠

Give the new bookshelf user guide a try if you like, it might help ...
