I also noticed that when starting to read a new book, if I close the book after only reading a page or two then that book is still listed as unread in my library. If I then put the Glo to sleep it does not use the cover of that book, but instead uses the default sleep mode image.

Overall though I think firmware 2.3.1 has fixed more problems than it created for me. Being able to adjust linespacing and margins in most books without needing to run them through calibre first is great. Some other (badly formatted) books caused my 2.1.5 Glo to crash when trying to adjust the linespacing, and while I still can't adjust the linespacing in those problem books, at least with 2.3.1 attempting to do so no longer causes a crash.
I have Kindle and Kobo .. but I think Kobo has to reach out and get some Hi-Tech engineers on board to compete with Kindle and others.. but as far as reading a book, I like the Kobo the best.. but as far software etc.. they need to STEP IT UP.. they need to hire some better engineers.. maybe some ex Apple, Google or Microsoft folks.. what ya think?
