I decided to try a clean install just in case that was the issue and did a factory reset, but the same issue recurred. So now I'll roll back, but I'll give 4.4.9298 a try.
Well, 4.4.9298 is fine, but I already miss 4.6.9995! For one thing, the full screen hack is back to eating the right-hand margin of kepubs (a problem I noticed seemed to be fixed with 4.6.9995 on my Glo HD) and the Mini is next to useless without the full screen hack. And aside from some of the handy add-ons, call me crazy, but the text with 4.6.9995 seemed sharper. A very good thing with the Mini with its relatively poor display.

So... I may try 4.6.9995 one more time and see if the black hatching interferes with the books themselves (I didn't see it on book pages, but I didn't try it exhaustively). But not now! I'm sick of the thing.

The benefit to this whole experience is that I may make my peace with 4.6.9995 on all my devices. I'd miss the old front page, but the added functionality is probably worth it.
