So lets see. My quick rundown of version 3:

1) No new options on reading menu
2) Nothing new on the book page
3) Still no ability to design custom tap zones or vertical tap zones
4) Still no way to sort collections by series number
5) Integration with Pocket (This might have been in 2.10. I only got that update today.)
6) Software version number on Settings->Device Information = 3.0.0

If anyone who likes just likes to read books on their eReader is wondering if its worth the 5 minute it will take to perform this upgrade, my personal opinion is that it isn't.

If anyone out there is wondering what exactly Kobo's developers added to be worth a major version number increase, I have no idea.
I take it you haven't bothered reading the rest of this thread. There has been plenty of changes mentioned. But, this firmware version is about the Touch. Kobo are getting it up to the same interface as the newer devices. The other devices will get this firmware to keep them in sync. That might mean it is not worthwhile sideloading it on Glo, Aura or AuraHD. But, then again, there are changes on the library list that are good.
