3.16.0: Fixed some of the bugs in KEPUB hyphenation, some still remain; Fixed a bug affecting EPUB line spacing in some books; Added a new KEPUB bug that causes some PNG images to display as solid black rectangles. Removed the LeanAndMean option so it is no longer possible to partially fix the menu and popup ghosting problems on older Pearl screen devices.
3.16.10: (only for Japanese GloHD, I didn't install this version on my Glo) Fixed the PNG bug from 3.16.0; Added sickel, which causes the device to reboot unnecessarily in some situations.
3.17.0: Fixed the ghosts from the library and homescreen tiles by adding a screen refresh when opening a book; Added new bugs that cause the KEPUB reader to forget the exact book location when the device is powered off, and one that causes the wrong progress to show on the sleep screen;
3.17.3; Fixed the KEPUB forgetting book location bug from 3.17.0; Deactivated sickel to fix the problem of unnecessary reboots that started in 3.16.10; Removed the screen refresh when opening a book, undoing the fix from 3.17.0;
Whether it is worth upgrading past 3.13.1 depends on which features you use I guess. I felt it was worth upgrading to 3.16.0 for the KEPUB hyphenation bug fixes, beyond that it is a mixed bag.

Thank you for this very useful info. I'll take the 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' approach. That leaves my Kobo Aura at firmware 3.8.0, my Aura HD is at 3.15 (with the games still as a beta features menu option!), and both the Glo HD's stay at 3.16.0
