			Right after posting, I tried a manual sync and it updated to 4.3.8945.

 And for anyone who is interested... Kobo have sent different firmware to different areas to fix specific problems. For example, 4.3.9084 has only gone to Rakuten. It is probably fixing a problem with Japanese or the Japanese version of the shop that the rest of the world won't see. I don't think anything will change until 4.4 comes out. | |

			Well, I think I'll be rolling back to an older firmware for the first time in 4+years -- 34121.9 hours to finish "Assassin's Apprentice", apparently.

 I think it might have been that books which I had already opened in the old firmware showed messed-up time remaining estimates in the new firmware, but ones that I first started reading in the new firmware are okay. Not 100% sure though. | |

 And the way Kobo handles highlights across pages. Works quite ok on the H2O but is a mess on the Aura One. I suspect they still haven't figured out the touchscreen driver completely and I really hope they will eventually. | |

			Hopefully that will be fixed in the next update.

			Are the reading stats fixed in the firmware on the new H2O?

			I hope so   It's still a pity that the KA1 has an uneven screen (the gap between the body and screen on the left is a bit wider than on the right). Dust often gets in there, and I have to take it out with a brush. I doubt this will be fixed with a software update, but maybe I can, at some point, find a cover that covers the bezels as well. |

			Just a general question about firmware, posting here as it's the latest. I see people talking about downgrading versions so I'm a bit intrigued by why. Is there a reason not to use the latest version, other than personal preference? Do the newer versions add things which suck or is it just a matter of not wanting the Google analytics tracking you? I'm using the first H20 device. |

			I just got my H2O and it is running 4.3.8966. I only have 1 book loaded and the reading stats are fine. However, I will be downgrading ASAP if there is no patch for this version, as I have the new home screen, which I can assure you, I detest. ETA - my mistake. I don't need to downgrade, I need to upgrade to 4.3.9084, for which there is a patch. I'm quite happy with this firmware version. I will keep my H2O on it indefinitely. The only issue I have is Calibre not seeing the SD card. But that's probably not due to anything in the firmware. (So I start in debug mode, and load my books to the SD card that way). The device reads and writes to the card just fine. Note to self: stay on this one! Last edited by booklover6; 01-12-2019 at 07:49 AM. Reason: reminder |
