When devices on the market speed up their devices by selectively writing to the screen to improve performance, I find it hard to believe that this is a hard feature to implement, especially if it reduces the 'flicker' down to a more acceptable rate.
With the Touch getting firmware 1.9.5, when will this be available for the Wifi? There are much more Wifi devices on the market then the Touch. I haven't been able to find a single page where the updates are available for download and future releases are outlined.
It seems that with each new hardware release, the old ones get forgotten. For all us that have bought the device just recently and prefer to stay with Kobo then buy a competitor's product only because of product support and performance, it would be nice to have some updates to Wifi too...

I completely agree! As others have said, it's understandable they're working on bug fixes and such for the Touch first, but hopefully the Kobo Wifi will benefit from updates in the near future too. I had heard somewhere that they were planning to add the Reading Life capability to it, which would be interesting....
