Sometimes a new release introduces more problems than it solves. For me, and this is the first time I can say this about any Kobo firmware, this is the case.

I had no problems with the version that my Kobo Sage shipped with (4.29.18730) but this version just isn't worth the update. I never could get the lighting issue (where when the USB charger is plugged in the indicator light only stayed lit for a few seconds) to go away and the firmware seemed to bring up the orientation menu on its own occasionally.

I rolled back earlier today and will almost certainly stay with the older version of the firmware until Kobo comes out with a new version.

Thankfully rolling back versions is a simple thing to do.
