I've upgraded my Kobo Aura 2013 to Firmware 4.8.11073.

So far, no library or collection information lost, all ebooks and library data intact

I do note some lag (10 seconds or so) when I switch from current reading to the home screen; some lag also to reach the search engine from the homescreen or vice versa. Mind you, I'm writing a few minutes after the upgrade, so that response time might change...

What I do like a lot are the tiles at the home screen, specially so the tiles for collection or author related to current reading. Also, the library now has a many very useful options and filters to find books according to their reading status, author and so forth.

The Collections (and I have I have 343 collections ) are way more fast to reach than on my previous 3.19.5613, so that is an improvement.

Reading progressinfo , changing pages, reading configuration (font, spacing), table of contents, sleepcover function: all of that is working OK and there are no problems that I could detect.

When I get a better feel of reading and general ereader experience, I might post some more.

So far, so good...

Kind regards,

INCANUS
thank you that's nice to know, if only i liked the new home screen which sadly i don't. i have installed this firmware on my Touch and i agree i can't fault it so far and i do like the pin lock.

i can have a dozen or so collections on the old home screen all at the same time which i do quite often unfortunately the same can't be said for the new home screen.


best wishes koboy
