1.9 (both desktop and WiFi update) are live today. It is being rolled out slowly with about 5% of users getting it today.

New feature list:

- Go To Page / Go To Chapter in books, newspapers, magazines, Epubs, and PDF files.
- Add wireless networks with hidden SSIDs
- Remove books and documents from I'm Reading (Close the book) via a new menu option on the I'm Reading screen
- Remove books and documents from I'm Reading (Close the book) via a new menu option while reading
- Add an Update Library menu item to the main Menu
- Revised graphics for WiFi signal
- Updated time zone settings

Although not considered features, the reader can also support the file formats introduced in the last kobo-1 update.

This update is just for Kobo branded versions for the moment. Borders etc coming soon.
