I think the Notes app got a major revision, but I don't use it, so can't comment there.

I would recommend waiting until 2.1 comes out. Perhaps it'll be less buggy then.

Thankfully, I was able to go back to 1.9.1. Phew. Although it did blow away all my books from the library (not a big deal for me, since I prefer my good ole kindle keyboard for reading anyway).

I commend the effort, though. It's great that they're attempting to improve the system. It'd be nice if there was some back-and-forth with the user community.
How did you downgraded the firmware? I'm interested.

My primary use of the device is PDF reading so I can live with the bugs but there are many. Apart from the things I wrote earlier:
- In Neo Reader when I tap to do a page turn sometimes the software register the command as zoom-move (I'm always using "crop to page" mode to remove margins) which switch the screen to A2 mode and stays there until I use the mode switch on the Android task bar.
- many UI elements on 3rd party apps cannot be used, things like drop down selection list just appears and instantly closes taking the first selection
- I cannot use the erase mode, only the other side of the pen works but I really prefer to use the thin nib to erase things in my notes.
