Will this firmware in the future cripple devices, so that I cannot side load books with Calibre, forcing me to use the subscription service? That's probably my biggest fear after reading through this thread about this firmware.
My second biggest fear is that the 6.x firmware will burn through battery time faster as its new renderers require more CPU. Anybody look into this?

I'm not noticing any difference in that with Mu Libra Colour. The main issue is that the beer rendering engine makes many ePub types open slower. The subscription service is extra cost, so it's not mandatory. It does let me sync progress between sideloaded books uploaded to the service (using ePub files I bought from Black Library back when they offered downloads).
