So far there are 11 pages of shelves, not sure if I like it yet or not - maybe that's the lag.
Curious, why do you like 2.6.1 better and what really is the difference between it and 3.1.1?

I can only compare it to 2.8.1. I have not tried any others. The first thing that was very annoying about 2.8.1, was opening a book, the Glo would get stuck on "loading page" and not open the book. Even if I had just had it open moments ago. That was probably fixed, I have no idea. (My Mini is on 2.8.1 and never had that happen).
Another thing I didn't like, they took away the slider bar at the bottom for browsing through shelves and pages, and replaced it with something far less usable (to me). I love the slider. I can just tap it at an approximate place to jump forward through a few pages.
There were some menu changes, too, that I didn't care for. Once I decide I like something the way it is, I don't want it changed. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!" But the big thing is the slider. I have a shelf with 252 books on it, for example. If I set it to view by author, and I want something that starts with "p" one tap takes me there, instead of having to page through.
I have 6 pages of shelves, and it is taking about 6 seconds to bring them up at the moment. It may be indexing some books I put on earlier, though, if so, it will drop a few seconds.
