One patcher related improvement going from 2.8.1 to 3.1.1 is that the linespacing patch works better with kepubs. In 2.8.1 setting the spacing closer than 1.225 caused problems in kepubs, but with 3.1.1 kepubs work as well as epubs with any spacing.
3.1.1 has new features like Pocket, dictionary cross-referencing and google/wikipedia lookup, library filter by unread/reading/finished, double-tap to zoom images in kepubs, a back button to return to the place you opened the book from, option to mark books as unread, a second dyslexic font, and probably more I can't think of.
The only potential issues I can think of with 3.1.1 is that some kepub features such as chapter progress charts no longer work with sideloaded kepubs, and the Kobo Nickel font has super wide line spacing (but this can be mitigated by the linespacing patch). Also some reports of wifi issues with certain networking setups (fritzbox routers?).
I have a Glo not an Aura HD, but I think 3.1.1 is a very good improvement over 2.8.1, lots of nice new features and I've had no problems at all. The best firmware so far for me.

Reason: thought of a few more new features
