Mark 6. There is no Mark 4 version of 3.16.

Perhaps I'm not explaining myself sufficiently. I can do the two-finger swipe to change brightness. The problem is that it can occasionally read as a pinch (expecially if I don't keep my fingers firmly together), and I end up adjusting the font size instead, which is annoying, so I prefer to leave "Pinch to adjust font size" unchecked. However, every Aura firmware from 3.13.1 to, I think, 3.17.x has a bug such that unchecking the option doesn't actually disable the feature.

3.18 fixed that bug, but then it introduced another bug where it led to erratic behavior when adjusting the fontlight brightness (I don't remember what, exactly; I just remember it was wonky). 3.19.xxxx smoothed out the frontlight adjustment but then it introduced significant lag, where it could take several seconds for the device to resond to a two-finger swipe which made it inevitable that you would overshoot your desired brightness level.

So I've just stayed with 3.12.1 since it's one that works best for me, although it, too, has a bug where setting it to refresh every chapter will cause it to refresh every page instead, but that's a bug I can live with, unlike the others I've mentioned.
