What is odd though if I open the reading settings, and close it, it no longer does a page refresh every chapter, it appears to not do it at all, no mater how many times I turn the page! I have to close, and reopen the book before the refresh will work again. very odd.
Something funny had been done with page refreshes this firmware, that's for sure.
Thanks, it sounds like a different manifestation of the same underlying bug. It would be good to know if other devices than the Glo an Aura are affected by this. EDIT: answered in another thread: yes the AuraHD is affected, and so I guess all other devices will be.

Also, could someone with a device other than a Glo or Aura check whether the reading settings page has options for "Pinch to adjust font size" and "Two-finger swipe to adjust brightness"? I wonder if it is just the firmware getting confused about whether it is running on the Glo or Aura in some places.
