Success at last! My device got to 2.0.4 this evening, and I just manually loaded 2.1.4. I've only fiddled with it for ten minutes, but the impressions are pretty good so far. The UI is mostly fairly fast. Most importantly, sideloaded epub page turns are a useful speed, not laggy like they were in 2.0. No dead taps so far (but I haven't read much, so that's provisional). Dictionary UI is better. Shelving books from the library was a desperately needed feature, and it seems to work.
I don't have much else to report just yet, but my dealbreaker (pageturn speed) has definitely been fixed.
