Just curious to know whether people over here update the firmware of their e-reader.

Personally I'm using v3.1.1 to which I upgraded just to get the 'Mark as unread' feature. That was a gamble since I see so many people complaining here and there about the new issues brought with each new release.

Most of the time, the release notes are quite poor and do not appeal me at all (e.g., v3.3.0 which doesn't contain a single feature I'd like/need), and each release seems to create so many new issues. That's the reason I've decided to stick with my current firmware unless a very promising feature gets added, and I'd still be using v2.8 if that wasn't for that 'Mark as unread' feature.

So I'm curious to know what other people do when a new firmware is released...
