Thanks for the new update! I'm happy that the 'back to page 1' bug is fixed. I noticed a regression however. In the shortlist and book-list each shortlisted book has both add & remove from shortlist options. Inside the book the wrench menu appears fine.
The 'Mark as Finished' option appears for finished books too, but I'm not sure if that bug is new in .12.

Aside: I know the browser isn't supported, but since archive.org was mentioned in the changelog a while back I figured I'd mention that with .11 & .12 (the only ones I tested) epub downloads from Archive.org didn't work. Judging by router activity, it downloads but no dialog box appears. (PDF downloads work fine)

Instapaper's epub feature displays a seemingly identical issue.
(Of course, after I write this I realize the changelog mention may just've been about sideloading compatibility. Oops.)

I understand your point, less finger travel etc. I think they're putting the most used at the top: define/translate/ToC/search. (If that's the goal I'd place ToC last, since it's most general)
Edit: After a bit of reading, I agree with your suggestion. My ideal order is now: (from the top) ToC, search, translate, define.

My dream UI is the "Book" menu launching as a context menu next to the word after selection. (But that would interfere with text selection in Kepubs.. so it's not optimal)

Is it just me or is the keyboard a smidgen snappier?
PS: The browser's top bar no longer says Kobo Web Browser...
