Hey everyone,
Just got my glo today in the mail. Turned it on, set up my kobo account, it then upgraded itself to 2.8.1 over the wifi
Transferred some Walking dead CBRs to it, just drag and drop, around 12-20MB each and 30 pages long.
This is where the problems start, it seems to crash almost all the time. I've mostly tried reading the CBRs on it and it tends to crash after 2-3 pages. Seems to be when I leave it alone for more than 30s while reading. It also crashes quite a lot when just in normal use, for example after transfering books and taking out the USB.
Every time it crashes, the screen freezes and it's unresponsive to touches. I can't turn the light off or on and can't put it sleep or switch it off, only a reset does anything.
I've tried doing a factory reset and letting it sit for an afternoon while charging, still not better.
I got some epubs off gutenberg.org and tried reading those but I haven't since managed to open them without the kobo crashing again.
Any help? Or should I just give it back asap?
Thanks
PS: here's a video of it crashing while reading the walking dead, the crash at the beginning is directly after a reset.
