Just downgrade to 4.30.

What are the advantages of staying on 4.31? Especially when it requires "keep your toes pointed to the north, not the northeast," "when ejecting, don't think of a polar bear" and soforth. Any advise given is only guesswork right now.

The defenses given here:

"Kobo is obviously not seeing problems from most users"
Fine. But this thread is rife with people experiencing issues, plus comments in other threads where the user didn't post here.

Threads on previous firmware versions had nowhere near the volume of issues reported as what has been seen of 4.31.

"It only impacts people who sideload, not the vast majority of users"
Which is why I am making that suggestion here.

That also ignores Robert's comments that he uses the Kobo as intended and still has issues.

It would be different if 4.31 added major new features or somehow vastly changed/improved user experience. But right now, 4.31 is an incremental upgrade that carries a real risk with it and isn't worth the update, at least for folks here that do use their Kobos differently.
Very well said. I could not have said it any better.
