I have two Kobo Touch. On the one, I sideload the newest FW as soon as it is available to satisfy my curiosity. On the other, I stay with 2.6.1. And this is the device I mainly use for reading. The reason for keeping 2.6.1 is that is working nice for me, and that the support for the Japanese dictionary gets worser with almost each update. Under 3.2 and 3.3 the Japanese dictionary is almost useless (although selecting text is easier). Maybe this is the reason why Rakuten stays with 2.6.0 (apart from Aura 6).
