I just tried the 1.8 firmware via SD but reloaded the cool-er firmware after an hour. I actually really appreciate the effort that Kobo is making but the experience is just so slow. Page turns on epubs are barely any faster than the original. A slick looking interface is all well and good but if the core experience - reading and navigating a book - is this slow then I'm unfortunately just not that vibed about it. For the time being I'll stick with the speed and navigation features of the cool-er over the slower slickness of the Kobo.
