Out of curiosity I put FW 2.6.1b on my Touch (old model). Png images show in epub (16 grey scale with distortion). I did not notice any other changes. There might be some, but I didn't know what to look for. The huge blank space at the top is still there.

After installation, the buttons didn't have a frame and the captions were very small; check boxes were also very small. After power cycling it returned to normal. I saw this under FW 2.5.2 too.

This is how to upgrade an old Kobo Touch from 2.6.1 to 2.6.1b:

Spoiler:

Alternatively, you can make the respective changes to the FW 2.6.1 Mark 3 file itself. Last edited by tshering; 07-03-2013 at 05:59 AM.
