I reported to Kobo a few (three, to be exact) bugs a couple of weeks ago, support said they escalated them to the dev team. I guess it's one way of saying they were added to some bug tracking system.

I hope they'll get fixed some time in the near future.

Edit: That was quick, I got 4.37.21533. On my Libra H2O, what's new goes as following:

Store

• Try our new Categories bubble to find new books
• You can now filter your Wishlist by on-sale items

Miscellaneous

• In Settings, we've increased the area you can tap to choose an option

Was Kobo able to fix that bug with random screen touches after waking up with sleep cover on Sage? So annoying...

Is this the critical update Kobo announced for some readers? There is nothing mentioned in the release notes for my Aura.

I'll wait to see if there are any issues. Looks like most of the upgrade was for the notebook Kobos, however.

But there could be some behind the scenes fixes that we don't know about.

Certainly on Sage and original Elipsa the Export docx now works first time instead of cancel & repeat. It was otherwise just "hanging" on the popup, though I think it had actually saved the file.

About zero impact/change going from 4.35.x to 4.37.x for reading so far, but I've not checked the swipe down "recently opened" list in ebook or notebook to see if it's still adding newly added unopened books, or if a book drops off if finished (technically may have been one of 3 previously opened).

Edit
Checked "swipe down for Recently Opened" on the Libra 2.
Still same behaviour. I opened 4 books in turn and swipped down and saw three previous.
Added books (connecting only once, in case it's metadata update by Calibre messing it). The last 3 added books are now on the list, even though they have never been opened.

I think 4.35.x was that?

So far so good. The new templates look nice and the shape and lasso are ok..

where's google drive though?

There could be. But I am not having issues with current firmware and 4.37 has no notable improvements for regular Kobo readers. So I'm not in a hurry to update.

Here's a new, probably unintentional change of behaviour. When Opening a in progress book from Home page, there is no full screen refresh, (even if set to refresh every page.) There is some resulting ghosting of images from the home page.

For Kobo Readers that were said to need to have 4.35 installed, can we forgo 4.35 if we've not installed it and go for 4.37? If so, I'll give 4.37 a go.

Which readers were those?
