If you want to downgrade to 1.9.4, a forum member has listed the steps here. To downgrade, you will also need a copy of the 1.9.4 firmware. Another forum member mentions a source here. You could also ask the Kobo HelpDesk whether they have a copy of the 1.9.4 firmware.

Finally, is not recommended that you revert to a previous version of the firmware because of problems you might run into, loss of the 1.9.5 enhancements and the time needed to reload your content.
I understand the process to downgrade the firmware, as well as the loss of features, however I would rather be able to ready my books without the italics/bold bug than have any feature that 1.9.5 introduced. My only problem is that I need a copy of the 1.9.4 firmware. Since I updated my Touch directly from the device and not through the desktop software I do not have a copy of the zip file.

If anybody has a copy (or a link to it) could you send me a PM? I would appreciate it.
