We are talking about software that is supposed to fix bugs in the firmware. If you actually consider that an “upgrade”, your initial bar must have been very low.
If you consider “draining battery due to sync and sleep mode malfunction” merely “not perfect upon release” I hope the next car you’re buying is one where the software has a bug so that the stereo secretly draws power from the battery overnight so that you wake up to a depleted battery in the morning. That should take you back to the “real world”
Been there, done that. Not the stereo but the automatic headlight turnoff which had a habit of turning the headlights on and leaving them on if you hit the door open button on the remote rapidly a couple of times. Such as when you were digging your house keys out of a pocket and accidentally pressed the door open button. Just a titch more annoying than having your ereader battery not lasting as long as expected -- the ereader has never made me late for work.

I'm not even sure if anyone at Kobo could give you an exact date but the release is getting very close would be my opinion. I will guarantee you that it will not be today (2016-Oct-10) since in Canada this is the Thanksgiving holiday.
