I have 2 Aura HDs still(!) running firmware 2.8.1 with the Metazoa patches applied. I've used the advice on the 'Summary of Modified Fonts' forum to add various fonts to the readers, and greatly value both the additional font control which the patches confer and also the enhanced control over headers and footers.
I've stuck with 2.8.1 because I haven't seen anything 'must have' in later releases, and because from what I read on this and related forums, every new release seems to introduce as many problems as it cures.
I only have side-loaded epubs on my machines and the main thing I do (apart of course from reading) is to annotate the epubs with transcription errors so that I can correct the originals on my laptop.
Annotation used to be a rather fraught process because it seemed that annotations got lost between reading sessions, mysteriously reappeared after being removed, etc. which does make trying to correct a new book very difficult. Recently, however, I've worked out (I think) that it's the process of closing and reopening the book that doesn't work properly, and that if you set the reader never to power off, and never close the book before applying the annotated changes to the original on the laptop, then data doesn't get lost.
However this does mean that whilst you are annotating a book, the reader cannot be used to read anything else, and so I've been wondering if any later firmware releases solved the problem of annotation loss on opening and closing a book.

Any advice would be much appreciated
