Regarding release 1.9.11 for Mark 2 (Kobo Wifi) hardware, my own experience hasn't been great. I find that I can't avoid appying the upgrade as it come down when I download new books from the Kobo Store.

On the positive side, the page turning is a bit faster, on the negative side it has wiped out all books from my Kobo Wifi once, then made it not work when I tried to reapply the same (thanks to davidfor, I was able to reload a working image, which later was upgraded again). Other issues with the new firmware have included page not turning on kepress, two pages turning at once and other flakiness (sometimes the Cover Page is displayed when I shutdown, but sometimes the current text page remains.

I aso find that the Goto comomand to skip pages and paragraphs doesn't work as it should (especially for paragraphs) and the readear now has a tendency to forget the bookmark and return to an earlier one, which further complicates things. All in all I would say that the last upgrade for the Kobo Wifi has not improved the device at all.
