I am really happy with the upgrade as well. Maybe it is my reading habits, but the sleep mode thing doesn't bother me. I have a two year old daughter, and I am a full time nursing student. Between those two things, I am usually really busy all day long. I don't have the opportunity to pick up my e reader for a few minutes here and a few minutes there. When I read it is usually for 30 min - 2 hour sessions twice a day. Having the reader go into sleep mode and turn off on its own makes no difference to me at all. In fact, they could do away with the sleep mode all together. If I had to take a call or something during my reading time I would just leave the reader on anyway. So, in that respect it does seem a little bit silly, but when I only get to read a couple of times a day it is really a non-issue for me. If it makes my battery last longer, I am perfectly happy with the changes.
The overall process was smooth, though the three button update thing made me chuckle a bit. I was hoping I wouldn't have to grow an extra hand at some point to get all the buttons pressed.
I have not come across any glitches yet, and is it my imagination or do the page turns seem a little smoother?
Regardless, I am a very happy customer at this point.
Thank you Kobo for standing behind your product and being active in the discussions here. That is the sort of business ethic that you do not see much these days.
