I don't know if something went wrong with the upgrade or I just wasn't patient enough, but I ended up using the pinhole reset and it booted okay after that.
Unfortunately I have the awful new homescreen. It really is horrible. Almost as bad as the Kindle's. I vow never to buy another book from the device shop until it is gone.
Also disappointed to see they have botched the long-awaited series sort. It worked perfectly way back in firmware 2.3.1, but in this firmware it doesn't sort search results, and the author sort still displays the series out of order.
Otherwise it seems good, I think most of the problems that started after my upgrade to 4.2.8432 have gone. Apart from the homescreen it is almost as good as 3.19.5761.
