I got impatient and decided to try and change my affiliate in order to get a newer firmware than 4.3.8945. I went to the folder named '.kobo' and opened the affiliate file in notepad. First I changed the 'affiliate=Kobo' to 'affiliate=Rakuten'.

When I ejected my reader and tried to sync, I got a "whoops, something went wrong".

So, I went back and changed the affiliate to 'WHSmith'.

When I ejected the reader and synced, it downloaded and updated the firmware - to version 4.3.8966!

Am I doing something wrong? I've never tried to change the affiliate before. The same thing happened with my Aura One and my Aura H2O (1st edition). Maybe it is to do with my geographic location (I am in the UK).

Edit: Okay, so I tried with "BestBuyCA" as my affiliate, and now I'm running the new firmware. Yay!

I like it a lot. The icons along the top are bigger and I think it makes sense to have them this way.
