I am happily back at 1.9.14, have turned on Airplane mode and do not intend to upgrade again until:

1) the double tap menu bug is confirmed fixed, AND
2) the bottom carousel can be turned OFF by the user

For what it's worth, I did NOT find the fonts any sharper (maybe the built in ones are, but since I don't use them, that could be why, Gentium Basic all the way baby!), nor did I notice any increase in page turning at all (but also, I have refreshes set to every page because I can't stand the ghosting, so maybe if refreshes are set to not occur every page that is faster, I can't say).

So 1.9.16 is a huge fail in my opinion, nothing but added bugs and frustration, and no improvements at all. Huge step backwards here Kobo...

Cheers and thanks for the link to the old firmware
