From what I've seen of this update, it fixes most of my complaints about some of the critical interface bugs, but doesn't do a lot to address the larger concerns or interaction design. The carousel is definitely better - it has more "friction" so it slows down more quickly and is easier to navigate as a result. I think the momentum on the scrolling in email and web pages is also better. I feel like the buttons are more responsive as well, and haven't really had any trouble with the back button at all. Page turns seem quicker and less jerky, and I haven't had any menu bars pop up while reading, which used to happen about every ten minutes for no reason.

But otherwise, not much change. Still a lot of things that could be done to improve it, and a lot of features that are missing from other Kindles that need to be on this one; page numbers, TTS, X-Ray, sharing/social functionality, etc.
