A couple of nits I've noticed since the upgrade.

1. The books displayed on the home page move around when I power cycle or paper clip reset my KT.

2. After I power off the KT, the power button does not respond instantly, either I flip it multiple times or hold it until the LED lights up.

3. The only device font on my KT that displays accented characters is the GothicMB101 font which is not my favourite font. Using David Weber who is fond of accented characters in his Bahzell series of books as an example, I get names showing as "Sh g " rather than Shīgū, "Toman k" rather than Tomanāk (hoping that the accents make it into the message. I sideloaded a couple of fonts to test and CharisSIL shows the accents but is a bit darker than I like while other fonts I've tried look very light on the KT's display.

I liked the Georgia font and have to ask WHY THE expletive deleted Kobo dropped most of the accented characters from their fonts.
