Summarizing reasons I downgraded to 2.1.5
There are definitely some nice changes in 2.3.1, my favorite being the redesigned home screen. Unfortunately basic readability problems sent me back to 2.1.5 (plus plugin) within a day.


UNACCEPTABLE SHOWSTOPPERS
  • Reader no longer reliably remembers where I left off
  • Favorite fonts render italic as bold (possibly a font naming issue)

ANNOYANCES
  • On first opening some epubs, an unselected font flashes for a second before settling on my choice
  • Loss of "back" button (link to library screen from reading menu)
  • SD-card epub covers draw slowly (no longer cached?)
  • Progress bar added for kepub but not epub

If you haven't yet upgraded, consider a full backup first so you can revert if needed. Good luck with 2.3.1!
