Getting started

From the project's README ("Usage"):

To use, copy the extensions/ directory to the root of your kindle, then find the KUAL "book" on your kindle and select it. After a few seconds you should see a menu where one of the menu items labeled "Switch to fread". Select this menu item to launch fread.

This assumes that you have already installed fread itself to the /fread directory on your kindle's fat32 partition.

This extension has only been tested with KUAL version 2.7
