J, sorry but I suspect you have over-simplified. Side-loading might be (often is?) risky in that it might be installing update(s) that Kobo has not officially designated as being ready for release.

It's logical that one can trust that the releases syncing on kobo.com have been designated as officially ready.
The side-loadable firmwares you find here are the officially designated Kobo firmwares.
Maybe it would be worth your while after all to spend a little more time around here. You'd find out that there are some very helpful, trustworthy and knowledgable people on this forum.

Also the download links are directly to kobobooks.com, not to any place shady or even any place not officially Kobo. So it's not like you're at any risk to download modified versions by other users that were then uploaded somewhere.

Thanks!
Just to share a bug with you, yesterday I was reading on by Kobo Aura One that received the 4.3.8945 update recently and suddenly my reader switch off I push the power button to wake it up again and 5 minutes after, it switch off again.

Since I was reading in the dark, I was not sure if it was the back light only or a complete hibernate of the reader. And it could be related to my device only or to the firmware update.

to be continued. ...

I'm pretty sure that the empty collections issue was only present in one of the 4.3 updates and occurred on the next sync to Kobo after the upgrade.

Loosing date/time is an issue I've never heard of on any Kobo and makes me think of a hardware issue.

It's now irrelevant if 4.3.8945 is bug free. There is now a 4.3.8966 firmware.

This thread is done. Please see https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=284562

J, you need to please relax.

Until folks update from 8945, they may still be interested in any problem(s) they are encountering.

No, they are interesting an any bugs/gotchas in the new firmware to decide to upgrade or if they get upgraded on a sync, what's there to look out for.
