As far as I can tell, people who have 1.8 or 1.8.1 or 1.8.2 or 1.8.3 working properly need not do any new updates (in the 1.8.X series) if the reader is working well. Each of those incremental updates past 1.8.0 were created, to address difficulties people were having with the 1.8.0 update (and beyond). The features and function are the same for all of them.
As the issue of preloaded books as kepub files was raised, I checked this out to be sure. This is what Kobo staff told me:
Quote:
There is no change regarding the preloaded books. Users who upgrade from 1.4 will have KXML preloaded books and users who install via SD card will have Kepub preloaded books.
The 1.8.3 release addresses an issue where KXML books were having repeating pages (this was the only change made from 1.8.2).
