A couple pages later the pages started going backwards on its own. It went back to around where I was where the change started. I put it to sleep, started it again, changed the settings back and it's been fine since. I'm not sure if this is a know firmware bug, I had a stable firmware on my other Kobos and haven't been upgrading.

I suspect that is related the change a while ago where you only need a tap rather than a long press to change the page number display. I was changing it accidentally all the time as it was to easy to happen. They changed back to a long press in the 4.10.x firmware.

A second minor bug was with it coming out of sleep mode on it's own. I didn't purchase the sleep cover but when I pressed the button to put it to sleep I would set it down and a couple minutes later it came out of sleep on its own. I disabled the sleep cover setting and haven't had the problem since.
The other minor bug is with the auto orientation. I've picked up the reader and held it in the same orientation where I put it to sleep and when I press the button to bring it out of sleep it starts upside down. I plugged the USB cable into it once when it was in portrait mode and the screen half changed to landscape mode, the orientation was still correct but it was about a third of the way down the screen and then wrapped around. The touch screen didn't align with the button location so I wasn't able to click on the dialog asking if I wanted to connect. I just changed the orientation back and forth and it corrected itself so it's just a minor annoyance. You can lock the orientation into landscape or either portrait modes so if it bothers you there is a work around. It will lock in either left or right hand portrait mode depending on the orientation you have it in when you lock it. I like the auto orientation though because you can just flip it to move from one hand to the other and the buttons change with the orientation.

Hopefully those issues will be fixed with the first firmware release. The one you are using now is the factory installed version. There will have been a couple of months of development since that was created. There should be a release in the next day or so to match with the official availability date.

Calibration of the Aura ONE touch was a fairly common issue. The my wife uses is about half a letter off when using the keyboard.
