Had the chance to use my KG a little more since the 2.3.1 update and I gotta say, it's quite disappointing that Kobo let a FW update out with so many bugs.

The reader continues to not return to a book where I left off, I too have have had font sizes change independently of the actual ePub, sometimes page drawing is substantially slower than normal, I now have duplicate shelves that can't be deleted, and it seems like italics don't work on half the fonts.

I really like the new home screen layout and like that series information is now in the reader, but all the problems that have come with it do not make it worthwhile. If you're still on 2.1.5, try staying there until the next update is released (hopefully a 2.3.2, soon, Kobo?)

I really don't mean to compare here, but this is my first non-Apple product in a while, and while it's great how much customization is available on the Glo, there are basic QC/bug issues with their firmware that I simply could not fathom a larger company letting out the door. If Apple released products with problems as big as these...well...it wouldn't happen.

Kobo, I love the reader, but your latest update has actually made it a tangibly worse product. Please work on some fixes very soon.
