User defined Folders in library would be fantastic. Or even just tagging books into categories like Fantasy, Sci-Fi, YA and so on.

I really dislike the HOME-Button. It was way faster to navigate to wherever you wanted to go with several buttons.

Now if I want to check out my awards, i have to click on Reading Life, wait for it to load, then click it again and navigate to Awards.
Same goes for the search in my library. Home Button - Libraray - wait till it's loaded (I have lots of books so that takes a while) - Search button.

It's nice the the advertising can be ignored by switching to shortlist but I preferred the Home screen without that bottom row and more buttons...

Also, within a book a "go to page ..." function would be great. I have downloaded a book I own in paperback (Stephen King's IT) that I wanted to finish on my Kobo cause it's just soooo much easier to hold than a 1400 page book. It took me a while to find the page I was on though. The scrolly-bar is useful but doesn't really let you go to a specific page.

Other than that I am very happy with my Kobo and the functions it offers.

Just the Home-Button and the advertising are two things that would absolutely have to go. If they don't with the next update, I'll downgrade to the last one. I didn't notice any faster page turns (they were very fast as it was) or other improvements, really.
