I have done multiple updates on this and on my vox so not 100% certain of how each of the updates was done, but here is what I remember.

My first upgrade to 1.9.16 was via wifi on the touch itself, but I was too quick to do it and ended up with the original 1.9.16 that had the recommended list all the time (would not save the setting to Shortlist), so I went back to 1.9.14 then used desktop software to do the update to the second version of 1.9.16 so it would at least save my setting to shortlist until a sync.

Unfortunately I ended up with multiple strangeness so did a reset and install again of 1.9.16 this time through the desktop software and as long as I leave my Micro sdcard out of the touch it has been working very well for the last week or so. If I put the Micro SDCard in the touch I see some strange behaviour with books on the SD Card showing up in the library one minute and then disappearing, and then back again. I think this likely stems from my doing reset with the card still in the machine, I have been told this is a no-no, you should always take the sdcard out when doing reset/update)

Anyway at this point I have 1.9.16 installed and it seems stable without the SDCard mounts (I might try formatting the MicroSD at some point to fix this issue). I even have shortlist sticking on the bottom carousel after a sync because I have deleted the recommendations on my account on the kobo website, though that only lasts for a week and then you have to delete the new recommendation. I do see faster page turns with 1.9.16 then I did with 1.9.14 but I also see a bit more ghosting of text so it is a trade off.
