Awesome - thanks PeterT
I am really impressed with the announcements Kobo have been making in the past few days. People have been bitching an whining about how long it's taken then to get the firmware out, but it really looks like they have got it right and addressed all of the Kobos major bugbears.
And thanks Corona for tracking down the beta program signup. I joined, so hopefully I'll get my hands on the firmware soon. Woohoo!
