First impression, opening it in the metro: beautiful, feels light and well balanced in my one-hand reading left hand, though small and very arthritic. I'll see how it goes after hours long reading.

It will feel strange without the patches though.

EDIT: I'll update this as I go

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<version value="10.0.85385-DL.20140425" name="hobbes"/>

F/W version 3.20.6894 (2483e14f7a, 28/06/2016)

dictionaries: (initial weight is my kobo Glo HD, kept at 3.15.0 for dictionaries
French: 6.7 Mo => 3.5 Mo!
Kobo changed who supplied the French dictionary. I have no idea of their quality, but when the firmware updates, you will be able to search the French dictionary like most of the others.
Quote:
Deutsch: 6.5 => 4.7
English: 6.7 => 7.1
Spanish: 6.2 => 6.8
Italian: 9.3 => 2.6
the translation dictionaries for same languages unchanged

Menus
As said in one of the reviews, the menus are a mix of French and untranslated English. I'm adjusting parameters and "économie d'énergie et confidentialité" for instance doesn't make sense: there is nothing about confidentiality.

Also the screen turns violently pink without rhyme or reason - I'll turn anything automatic off.

I just noticed I have a June F/W, although the kobo apparently upgraded when I initialized it.

Just hope the light and menus will improve with a quick upgrade. While waiting for this I'll download just a few books and won't modify dictionaries or apply patches.
I have made some comments about the firmware release for the Aura One in other threads. There should be the official release version coming along in a few days.
