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.

Thanks very much for this information. You mentioned the double-tap to zoom images working on kepubs.
That would be a great feature that would push me into upgrading, but most of my books are epubs (which started life on my PRS-650). I am not quite clear whether you are saying that double-tap to zoom images doesn't work on epubs, or that you have only tried it on kepubs.
Thanks again
