Thank you for your advice. I was using "Document Default" as a font, and did try to change it to Times Roman and Gothic (for some reason Tyumen is not available on my device). Unfortunately changing the font did not make any difference. The device did still crash (reboot) when trying to open any Finnish EPUB.
Then I realised that those problematic books were "side loaded" (I have understood that this is how the books that are not transferred through Kobo Desktop are called). Interestingly enough, some other side loaded EPUB books (via Calibre, downloaded from Project Gutenbeg so no copy protection) did work ok, so problem was limited to protected, side loaded EPUBs that were in Finnish. Now, I do not know if the language or copy protection was the issues.
Solution: As I picked up from this thread, and was advised by Kobo Support (thanks, they responded in 3 hours, which is great) I performed factory reset and re-downloaded the book. Now they seem to work ok.
The difference with "original update" and the one I performed via factory reset is that:
1) Books were re-downloaded, and obviously library was re-built.
2) Adobe Digital Editions (that I use to side load my Finnish books) required re-authorization of the Kobo Touch.
I think that the item #2 may be key to the issues I was experiencing. I hope that this description may help Kobo to iron out some of the bugs.
The re-boot problem was the "main issue" that I was experiencing. Other that that, I have not tried pdf-files, so I can not comment on those. However, the page turn appears to be a tab slower compared to 1.9.
Now I can contnue my reading, but I still do hope that Kobo can push out the official, fixed version, as soon as possible.
