Here is what small issue I have found out

- When closing or sleeping your reader the cover is a bit small, compared to what it was before, I would have liked a full screen cover.

- The Home page is not your I am reading page from the old Kobo. I put 1 book in (that I was reading) and read a few page to test it out. I then put all my library in (using calibre) and the book I was reading was not on the home page anymore, instead replaced by the last 5 book of my library. Previously the book you where reading stayed at the top. I guess this is why they added the shortlist function.

- A Good thing is that now you can access the table of content of a book without opening it.

- You can also mark a book as finished from the device itself, but there is no indication anywhere that it is marked as finished, only that it removes the book from the home page.

- And the speed is way better, I tested it side by side with my original and just opening a book is now almost instantaneous. Also the power on is very much improved, I was able to open it and start reading and my original wasn't even finished loading the progress bar.

All thing considered, I am very pleased with it.

PS. Also please note that when setting up your kobo with their new desktop software it also applies an update from 1.9 to 1.9.2, so make sure you update (probably last minute fixes)
