Yep, I am on the 3.1.1 firmware. To me, it is the best firmware yet. It is way less buggy than the ones I have had in the past.
What I did for the patch:
It really was not that bad. I really was afraid to try it.(To the point that I was about to get a new reader.) I made a file and called it KOBO Patcher on my windows desktop. I extracted the three Zip files needed in that folder. Each zip has a file needed for the patch so I made another file and named it My Patch. I put the kpg.conf, the extracted libnickel.so.1.0.0, and kpg.exe in that folder. Once that was done...I opened up the kpg.conf in my text editor and changed the margin settings.(the advanced fonts settings for sideloaded fonts is already selected so I didn't have to make any changes to that.)You could even just leave the config file as is because the default settings already make a great improvement. Click "save" before closing to keep the changes before you exit that file. Now just double click the kpg.exe. The new KoboRoot.tgz will pop up in My Patch folder. I just drag and dropped that KoboRoot.tgz file in the .kobo folder on the Glo. Reboot
My sideloaded bold fonts are WAY bolder and there is way more text on the pages with the new margins. I would highly recommend it and give praise to the person/people who work on these hacks.
