Got it yesterday.

Borders US is being rolled out at 100% as well, as I type this.

Received the upgrade as soon as I enabled WiFi.

Upgraded fine, didn't lose the positions in the currently opened books.

I do notice the menu navigation is faster, and had no crashes during my quick testing.

I'm scared to try the update now...it ate my database last two times I tried. Is that bug fixed?

Wow, now I'm really not feeling the love! Still no upgrade for me (I'm going the wifi route since I use ADE and Calibre to manage my library.)

tecweston · 04-13-2011, 02:07 PM

Yaaaaaay! I just updated my library wirelessly and got the update!!!

I did too- and I was starting to wonder if us WiFi-only users were being discriminated against because it took so long. But I got mine yesterday when I went on the network. If they're saying it's 100% now you should get it any time.

Ooh, downloading the software now! Yay! (It takes so little to make me happy!)

Yeah, doesn't it though. It's probably even that much better because we waited so long. [Wait- no, Kobo, you didn't hear that!! We would have been even MORE happy if we wouldn't have had to wait!!]

I really am on the fence about upgrading.
I never turn on my wifi (use Kobo for library downloads only), and my reader is working beautifully, no freeze ups, 3-4 weeks battery life (or more), responsive (at least enough for me!)
I read through these posts, and really don't see any reason for me to do it.
Anyone else thinking about forgoing the upgrade?

*rasies hand*

I tried twice and had my database erased for my troubles...

...but I really want the "go to page" function

Upgraded 4/15 via Wi-Fi, no problems. Thanks for the GoTo, been missing that since I got my Kobo!

wes101 · 04-18-2011, 10:14 PM

just got the update today, though im sending my kobo back for a replacement since there is 2 small blobs of e-ink on the screen hopefully when i get my new one i can get the update for it right away. From what i can see its a major improvement over the last version. For the lazy

New features

1-update library option on main menu on Kobo
2-go to feature which you can select a page and it goes to it, a time saver for books that dont have physical chapters which is most of my books
3 remove book from im reading list
4 click left to shut menu's so you dont need to hit menu again to shut it down
5 time zone changes, you select the country and then major city near you

I just got the 1.9 (r25373 mar 29 2011) firmware!. I guess I could've gotten it earlier but I haven't launched the Kobo application in a long time (I manually load my books). Finally, the goto page feature is in and it makes a big difference in my mind. I hoped that the speed of the device would improve but I didn't notice it.
