Updated without a hitch (for that matter, I've never had a firmware update go south on me). I really like the new features. The bookshelves are great, though I do miss the quick access to the shortlist, and the pop-up dictionary is awesome.

Two minor annoyances: 1) Why did they bury the clock in a menu? That seems counter intuitive. The previous clock was perfect. 2) Noticeably slower page turns. It's not a big deal because I just have to retrain myself to tap when I start reading the last line instead of waiting until I'm on the last few words. What surprises me, though, is that while page turns are slower, the menu screens are much snappier.

All in all, a very good update. I just find it interesting that whenever Kobo releases a new firmware, it comes with significant changes to the home screen. It's like they can't just settle on a design and make minor improvements from there.
