Sliding works perfect but that works good before the update.
Go one page further works, turn back doesn't.
When you hold the reader in the middle you get tired arms, it looks like muscle training,so that is why we let it rest in the palm of the hand,certain the Aura HD is to heavvy for one hand reading if you don't let the reader rest in the palm of the hand... While my friends and I and my GF held it all the same way,it is I think different how you hold it for many persons, in my and my friends way, I entered the menu all the time with the Glo.. it is useless.
If you look back through this forum, a top/bottom split for the paging has been requested for a long time. Personally, because of the way I hold the reader, I don't want to use it. And apparantly you don't either. But, a lot of people do. The pity is that Kobo didn't offer both possibilities for the split.

The longer shining light with the Glo .. when i press the sleep button it displays a totally black screen with almost no light at all,then the cover comes back and is lighted again,and 1 second later it turns out..
I really can't see why this function is there and who has requested it this way.
For a long time I didn't use a cover with my Glo. And I frequently used the switch to put it to sleep. After this, I would always look at the screen to see the reading status. When it was a bit dark, I frequently thought "It would be nice for the light to stay on for a little bit so I could read the status". Apparently, Kobo can read my mind.

With the Aura HD it works the same, but the light wents out in two steps... wow.. two new functions that adds really nothing to the reader, but against those two new ones are still the known buglist.. I hope someone of Kobo reads this,fix those known bugs first,why do we still have to use patches just to use the device the way other brands can be used normally,then think of new functions that add something to the reading experience.. the light thing doesn't and for a major part of users the new page turning option for one handed reading doesn't to !
I don't think it would be productive for me to comment on this. Especially as I have no idea of Kobo's plans or method to decide what bugs to fix or features to implement.
