There were no other noticeable difference for me. For me, the CBZ file format worked perfectly with much faster page-turning speed than epub or pdf (when pro-precessed 600*800 images were used.) Because CBZ file viewer don't display page numbers and titles, entire screen can be used. So I started to convert technical papers in PDF format to CBZ to read on the kobo. But CBZ file format may not be useful for others though. |

Actually, now that I've tried 1.9 for myself, readability isn't so bad at fit-zoom I was worried it'd be like PDFs, where I need at least 100% landscape to make anything out.
Still, it makes more sense for images to have PDF-like zoom/orientation settings, instead of nonfunctional font-size/style settings. |

I just got the 1.9 (r25373 mar 29 2011) firmware!. I guess I could've gotten 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.
