Which Kobo Touch Firmware has the back button?
I have a kobo touch and am thinking of downgrading it to an earlier version. Can anyone tell me which firmwares still had the back button and shelves?

Other less important questions.
Which firmware:
has the smallest margins.
Is the most stable.
Is the Fastest.
Has pocket integration.

Appreciate any help given.

I don't know. Dowload all firmware versions that are still available here and start downgrading your device. And work your way down firmware version wise and stop at / stick with the firmware that has that back button.

P.S. a Kobo Touch is not fast. Neither it is slow. It is only slower than many other devices as the Touch is quite old. It was on par when it was first released.

It would be easier to do a factory reset, then, install updates one by one till you find one you DON'T like, then do another factory reset and stop at the one you DID like.

I was kind of hoping someone would know then I wouldn't have to go through all the rigmarole.

If only by internet search skills didn't suck so much then I'd be able to find the post mentioning that the back button had been removed.

The back button was removed in fw 2.3.1, and then returned again in (I think) fw 3.0.0.
