Just to chime in, two essential tweaks are needed for future updates on my original Kobo:
1- page turning speed. I've been playing with the Cool-er firmware, so I happen to KNOW that the hardware is plenty fast enough to get this one fixed. There is a lag between pressing the next page button and anything visible happening on the screen, a lag which is non-existent when running the Cool-er firmware.
2- library update speed. My guess is that the update process is slogging through each and every file looking for changes, rather than just looking through the directory structure looking for filesystem changes.
And there is one feature available on the Wifi model I'm slightly jealous of, that you can buy books over the internet directly on the Kobo device. Would similar functionality be possible on the original model over Bluetooth? It is fairly simple to set up Internet sharing over Bluetooth on most computers.
