Glo HD Never Updated Firmware, Missing Anything?

Hi, as per thread title Ive never connected to wi-fi or updated my Glo HD except once the day I bought it in early 2016, I was just wondering am I missing anything? Better battery life, faster page turns etc?

Its by far my favourite device and Ive read nearly 100 books on it. I dont use any online functions or Kobo store or anything, just load my own Epubs with Calibre.

Is it worth updating to latest fw?

Some things are improved, some things are buggier.

Page turns and text selection have both improved noticeably. Search no longer works in some epubs depending on whether or not the book has a TOC entry for ever file inside the epub.
