Instead of blowing smoke, the question is how long do y'all feel is reasonable for kobo.com to delay the release of worthy updateS to some users but not others (whether they be knowledgeable or not)?
I am not particularly technologically savvy. Far from it. Yet I was able to install koreader on my KA1, sideload Chinese fonts and a Chinese-English dictionary from following instructions found on various threads in this forum. All it involved was a bit of time and the odd question here or there to ensure that I had things right.

If a KA1 user is so lacking in confidence to follow such instruction on how to sideload an update to the firmware, then I would hope that Kobo would take as long as it needs to get them a stable firmware as such users might not be able to figure out how to roll back to an earlier firmware should the latest firmware introduce new unintended problems.
