Will Kobo ever release another FW update for older models?
Or are they just leaving us stuck on what we have now? Not that I am unhappy, but still...

I'd say it was a safe bet that is where the comments about upcoming firmware originated. OTOH, Kobo is likely concentrating on releases for the KA1 -- newest, flagship, etc -- so firmware for other devices will take longer before being released.

I got my h2o for almost a year, Kobo has never released a new FW for it. But, I got 3 FW updates for my kindle, which I bought 4 months ago.
My idea: kobo doesn't care about their customers. |

What you need to do is get the Aura ONE owners to stop whinging about their shiny new devices. Then Kobo can spend time finishing and testing firmware for the other devices. |

As for the H2O, it was released in 2014. Most of the rapid firmware releases to deal with it's issues were done in the first 6 months. For now, Kobo seems to be concentrating on the KA1 but my opinion is that you will see a firmware update for your H2O in the not too distant future. |

Which is to say that a frequent updates are not necessarily a good thing, nor are infrequent updates necessarily a bad thing. |

There are now new firmware updates for some of the older devices.
