The latest firmware is faster, especially when opening books with a complex table of contents, and I would love to use them, but the two bugs I mentioned are "game breakers" as far as I'm concerned, and so I stick with 3.12.1 and hope that the next release finally works as expected.
It is interesting, because I have pinch zoom switched off, and it is indeed not working now. About adjusting the light: my way is to keep my 2 fingers on the display for one or two seconds (let Aura enough time to recognize that I don't intend to turn page), and only then I start to move my fingers up or down. This way I can adjust the light pretty well..
