Usually the boot screen shows two blocks (out of five) before starting but with the new update it went through several complete block cycles before starting.
There was a constant white line down the right hand side edge, either on or off, this disappeared when I went back to the older firmware.
Press any button on any window and it took up to five or six seconds to respond, but open a book and it was fast.
Again back to normal after applying old firmware

Scratching my head about this release...
Have you tried reinstalling this? I have this on my H2O and it's working well. Also try downloading the firmware and side load if you synced to get it.

I reinstalled it (side loaded), same multiple issues. A slow boot on its own would not really annoy me, sluggish response however is unacceptable.
As you can see other posters are having similar issues.

I'm back on the older firmware which is fine so I'm fine!

OK, you are seeing different behaviour than I am. Did you restart the device at any time while you had 4.6.9960 on it?

Yes I did, as I said the KA1 shut down and restart would take a long time.
I did this several times. noticed one thing, the light flashed blue a few times while the screen was dark for a that long time before eventually the 'powered off' message with the book cover would appear - also with the line on the right hand side.

Don't remember seeing blue flashing on shutdown before, power up yes.

Have installed this on my Glo HD yesterday. I have not experienced longer boot times, but performance has definitely changed: going to the Home screen or the My Books page from, I'd say, everywhere there is an accessible link to those sections, has become slower than it was before. In my case, with around 1100 books (mostly .kepub) on the device, I'm seeing a delay of 3-4 seconds. Accessing the index from inside a book, with the new button, is also similarly slow. I have changed the internal microSD with a faster one in the past though.
Some things, on the other hand, have become faster (Collections; Settings menu etc.)
Can't say I like the aesthetic behind the new '...' section in My Books.
Everything else seems to be working as it should. I haven't really noticed a decrease of ghosting.

Confirmed on Kobo Aura. The boot time increased, it is 2 or 2.5 times longer now. The general slowness of functions is between 5 and 15 seconds.

I'm glad I haven't moved up to this version.

Hopefully, Kobo is aware of all the issues and will release a corrective version soon.

No, the update will not fix this. The way the library lists works means that if they are in one sort, they are in all of them. A simple test: How many pages are there? If 40 books are missing, there will be at least five pages less. I'd expect the missing books to be at either the start or end of the date added list, so scrolling back from the start might show them.

Another way to check is to open the list for an author or a collection that has books from both before and the newer books and see were they sort.

If you have any SQL knowledge, you can also look in the database and see where they are. The import process adds the book details to the internal database. This is an SQLite database and can be be opened with any SQLite database management tool. You can see what the different timestamps are and how these later books fit into it.
Thanks was bit confused as when I sort by All and either title or author they are there. all a bit confusing tbh

Just checked again sorting by unread and titel and they are there and when sorting by unread and recent they appear 5 pages in so all good phew nothing missing

never mind not so tech savvy as you fantastic people

thank you

I have KSM with koreader installed on my Aura One and I mainly use koreader. Is there any consideration when upgrading to this latest firmware? What's the correct procedure?

Hi fanfa. This is standard for Kobo firmware releases. The release is staggered; not all devices will be allowed to update at the same time.
