Hi,

Looks like i'm not the only one having troubles with my Kobo since the upgrade to 1.9.16

I've upgrade it last saturday night and it's been a pain to use it since then.

First well i really dislike the new home menu and the recommended list i've switch to favorites but even so i'd really like to have the choice to activate or not that bar

But my biggest problem so far is that the touchscreen doesn't work well now, most of the time when i tap the sreen to go to the next page, nothing happens and then when i tap again it goes further two pages not one and it's the same when i tried to go to the page before, it doesn't happen every time but most of the time and it's now very difficult to read.

and sometimes it has strange reactions when i click on a book it opens another one or sometimes it goes back to the home menu when i'm reading and i haven't touch anything

An also it is now very slow, much more than before and i haven't add any book since the upgrade because of all the trouble and to add to all the that the ghosting is worse than before, i used the refresh every 4 pages but now it's either 1 or 2 because of the update.

I'm really disappointed in that upgrade, now my kobo is almost useless because of my trouble with the touchscreen.

I'm probably going to do a factory reset this week-end and tried to update again and see if it changes anything.

If someone can explain me how to downgrade a french kobo (the kobo by fnac) i will be forever thankful. I downloaded the 1.9.14 from this thread but what's in the folder .kobo doesn't match mine so i'm afraid to do a big mistake and not being able to use my kobo anymore.)

Like most of peple i don't undertand how a firmware can affect the same device differently, i also got my sister a kobo and since the upgrade to 1.9.16 she did notice that it was quite slow but she doesn't have any of my trouble with the touchsreen.
