I'm curious, just what is it that these "knowledgeable and unknowing KA1 users" are knowledgeable about?
Clearly, not the updating process. Otherwise they would know that they would eventually receive any important update and how to get it if they wanted it sooner than the rollout process dictated.
Any knowledgeable KA1 user experiencing significant difficulties with their device would probably know enough to google the problem which would eventually lead them here or to some other such forum where they might learn about any impending updates which might alleviate the problem in question... So I'm not sure what the problem re updates would be for knowledgeable, capable KA1 users.
For unknowledgeable and unknowing KA1 users the situation might be somewhat different. But if they are so unknowledgeable about how to google a problem, perhaps it is just as well that they wait until a stable solution has been found for the problem which they are experiencing with their device, lest they make some unfortunate change that renders their ereader into a brick.
As for myself, I am currently several updates behind the latest firmware out of choice.
My device is functioning satisfactorily for my current needs so I see no reason to obtain the latest update. Quite the opposite. Were I to get each update as it comes out, I would be continually having to reinstall koreader which, although not overly difficult, would be somewhat of a nuisance. Thus, I am more than happy to wait until a stable firmware is developed that offers me significant reason to make a change.
