My impressions so far
good:
- cleaner home screen layout
- advanced font options (but the useless small preview is awkward)
- top margins
- more responsive in library views
- shelves
not so nice:
- somewhat slower page turns (epub)
- page turn taps are sometimes not recognized (not a big issue, but the previous version worked better in this regard)
- 'Discover' tab on the home screen too intrusive (got to mention that I'm using the device strictly off-line and I'm not interested in accessing the kobo store or 'social reading' features. But I doubt that the discovery feature is so important as to deserve such a prominent space on the home screen. I for one would prefer to see a shelves tab at this place)
- adding books to shelves only possible from the shelve menu (should also be possible from the context menu per book in library views)
- standard dictionary selection should be made an option (it's awkward having to always look at the french translation first before you can switch another dictionary ... you may even consider this a bug ...)
- clock disappeared from reading context menu
bugs:
- shelves not working after update (signing out of the account fixed this though)
- cover display bug: read book A --> switch to book B --> put device to sleep --> cover for book A is displayed (as soon as you turn a page in book B the correct cover will be displayed)
