I would avoid it. For most, any benefits are likely to be outweighed by losses.
For me the main benefit of the 3.1.0 firmware is that it's easier to select japanese words to look up in the dictionary. Previously, it was sometimes almost impossible to select the second character of a two character compound, and i'll say it was simply impossible to select a word that begins at the top of line. Or a word with furigana. Dictionary lookups for roman letter languages might be slightly streamlined, too. I use the dictionaries a lot. So hooray for that.
On the downside, i can't connect to my wireless LAN and the reader has trouble opening epubs. I spent nearly my whole busride home trying to open up the book i was reading. Kinda defeats the whole purpose of the device.
