There isn't any difference between the firmware Kobo offers to devices in different places. The affiliate is one of the ways Kobo uses to set the order the devices are update in.

I'm looking forward to this update because switching all the time between a Mini and an Aura HD, I was usually trying to swipe when I should be touching the screen or searching details in the wrong place

Edit: if the firmware is the same as can be found on the Touch, it should mean no Pocket. Anyway, I'll know the answer when I'll get it.

What gives you this idea? There is pocket on the Touch.

Yes you get Pocket on the Mini. Just updated one, now doing the other. (Except that #2 is stuck and still says "connected and charging" Phew. Finally kicked into update). I love the tiles!

Some people will be pleased to know that this new firmware for the Mini only has some of the features of the firmware on newer devices. For instance, it did change "shelves" to "collections" and has the sync settings in the menu (be sure to turn off the automatic sync feature). However, we still have the sliders at the bottom! That was taken away from the Glo in an update last year. I, for one, am happy it is still there for the Mini! This update is great!

That was what I meant when I said the rest of the interface is the same as the Touch. Personally, the slider is about the only thing I want to keep from this interface. The filtering of the books is missing, the collection list can't be sorted and I like the in-book interface a lot more. But, I don't expect this to change any time soon. The next firmware version will probably concentrate on something else.

Maybe the fact that I don't follow what's happening with the Touch as much as with the other devices...
For some reasons, I thought that only the Glo/Aura/Aura HD had the Pocket integration. But I can't remember why I was thinking that

Thanks for letting me know that I'll be able to use Pocket on the Mini (when the update will roll out here, that is).

Yes they are combined in this firmware.

I have running in my kobo mini 3.3.0 for kobo glo. And it is very much better than the old film. I can find a word in Wikipedia, can change the definition dictionary for the traduction in one step and full page opfios. If they new firm had not the same implementation that the others kobo readers have, I think I can't find it so interesting.
Why call it 3.4? They should call it 2.7 for mini if it is 2.000 years lights of distance of the other readers firm...

The code base used for the firmware is same for all the devices. Only the packaging is a little different for the different devices. This firmware is purely about getting the Mini caught up with the other devices and future releases will most be for all the devices. Because of that, it makes sense that version number fits in with the overall scheme that Kobo uses.

And because of the above, the function available is basically the same across the different devices. The main differences you can see are based on the hardware differences (resolution, light, SD card) and how that affects things.

So it's supposed that it's no only a facelift and we'll have now the same functions than in the other devices
