I didn't have much cashes of my Glo. I am mainly using the device to read books. I do not use the extra features very often.
At the moment I am using firmware release 3.5.0 (1ad1188b51, 09-07-14) which is imho more buggy than previous 3.x.x firmware releases as I have had three to four crashes of the device and two times that I had to use the reset button to restart the device as it would not wake up from the sleep mode the normal way by holding the power button.
Interesting. In my family we have 3 Kobo ereaders (Aura HD, Aura and Glo) running firmware 3.5.0. Two were sideloaded, the other updated automatically a couple of weeks back. I've had no incidences of having to use the reset button to wake up from sleep and the only crash since the 3.5.0 update was on my Aura HD but then that is the only one of the three running patched firmware, a modified boot sequence (AdvBoot), an alternative reader, etc. Factory resets are us.

The only bugs I've run into in 3.5.0 are documented in the 3.5.0 bug thread and of the four bugs I noticed, three are of long standing and the new bug where the last word on the first line of an indented line/paragraph is not hyphenated is a issue in the updated RMSDK. Since the RMSDK in 3.5.0 fixed the long paragraph bug, I'm quite happy to trade that fix for the hyphenation issue which is not nearly as annoying to me.
