Faster access to reading stats: When reading Kobo EPUBs, tap the middle of your page, then choose the stats ‘graph’ icon in the header menu. New language - Català: We’ve added support for Català.

I do hope they've fixed it so time remaining works for ePub. That was broken.

Well, from the update note it looks like the chapter progress is not hidden in the menu anymore. I'm not sure what they mean with the customized header and footer - isn't it already possible to do everything that's listed there? Hopefully what they've added is the ability to switch the information between header and footer.

The Reading Settings page looks different now. It's still divided into pages, but there's a scrollbar now to the right of the screen, probably to make it more obvious (you can change page by swiping up/down and left/right). The header/footer information is now on the first page, and the wording has changed a bit, but the options available for header/footer are still the same. IMO they're changes made to make everything simpler/clearer for the average user. I'm seeing some other minor graphic changes (in the Filter/Order menus), in general the My Books page looks better and navigation faster, at least on my old H2O.

Yess! They fixed the removal of highlighting on the text page, when you delete it from the Annotations page.
In the previous release, when you thereafter returned to the text page, the highlight was still there. Not anymore ... |

Do you still have to go to Home or Collections page to turn off WiFi? (no WiFI button beside light)
Is there still no Home button, only Back? I may try the FW on my three kobo models on Friday. I'm sort of busy right now. |

my Clara is arriving today. sounds as if I shouldn't update today, merely try patches until patches are released for this update version. am I thinking correctly?
