Upgraded from 3.19.5761 on an H2O.

Upgrade was done after a factory reset and auto update. Version 4.6.9960 side loaded. Rebooted after new firmware installed. Synced to get dictionaries, rebooted again.

I liked that they fixed the performance problem I was having with 4.6.9960. I liked that it only took 12 seconds to open the Collections as opposed to the 2 minutes 10 seconds it took with 3.19. I noticed that the web browser works much better, no longer having the constant flashing I get when I use it on 3.19

I did have some problems, though. When I was navigating the menus, three different times it jumped back to the homepage. I noticed that, even though I had auto sync turned off, the sync icon would occasionally be moving, and when I tapped it would say it was syncing. I also noticed that the wifi icon would be bold, as though it was in use, even when not syncing. In version 3.19 it would only turn on the wifi when I wanted to look a word up on Google or Wikipedia. It froze on me once at the beginning of a chapter and I had to reboot. I also noticed that the page turns were just a wee bit slower, probably only a fraction of a second, but definitely noticeable to me.
