I am new here and most definitely NOT alas a geek (64 year old house frau in NZ) - so forgive my ignorance. I have a KOBO AURA HD and was most unhappy with the 43.8842 upgrade for two reasons. One: it screwed up my collections (obviously not alone in that) and two: itr meant that I could no longer use the earlier and excellent nightmode patch controled by a long press on the light button. So anyway I copied the .kobo file and put that aside, then downgraded to 3.7 firmware and reinstalled night mode, then backed up and deleted the 3.7 .kobo file in its entirety and added back the 4.3.8842 .kobo file. Result: I now can use the old nightmode, the firmware shows as 3.7, but I have some of the advantages of the 4.3.8842 including some bugs fixed. Hope this is useful for someone. Not kosher of course but I am happier.

The only major problem I have found is that I now cannot use Calibre to 'send to device" but that is not a biggie - can still side load using - in my case - Windows Explorer.

NOW THE PLEA What 4.3.8842 needs is a good nightmode patch - one that can be toggled on an off. (Could not get the code addition to the config file to work. That is [FeatureSettings] InvertScreen=true

YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING!
Yes, I'm agree with you : a real night mode toggle is essential... we just have to wait, I think they are working around .

A little note : with the old nightmode plugin, a long press on the light button (800ms for example and only for devices with a physical button) switched between the 2 modes (nightmode and daymode), I hope it will be the same .

PS : sorry for my bad english again.
