Hi there! I've had my Kobo Aura HD for several months now, and I'm mostly happy with it (especially after the firmware update to help support 1-handed reading, though I wish it was more customizable, since I'd rather the left hand be the opposite of the right hand, as it was on my Nook).
I'm having a couple of continual really annoying issues with page turning, though.
Issue 1) The kobo will briefly not respond to touches, and then it will turn pages, sometimes several at once, but typically just 1 at a time... but it turns them back instead of forward, no matter where on the screen I touch. Previously I'd have to shut the kobo off completely (sleep didn't usually fix it), but recently I've noticed that if I rub my whole palm across the screen a few times, it freezes up completely for a minute or so, and then returns to normal page turning. It's not possible to access any menus or anything when this happens - touching the spot that would normally access controls just turns the page. The sleep and glow on/off buttons work normally.
Issue 2) The kobo will freeze up, sometimes for only a few moments, sometimes for a couple of minutes at a time. Similar to above, the physical buttons still work. Shutting down and turning back on usually fixes this. Overstimulating the screen or whatever the whole palm touch is doing has no effect with this problem.
The kobo choked when I tried putting the microSD card with my complete epub collection on it back when I first got it, so right now I just have about 50 books in the device memory and no SD card installed.
Has anyone run across this before, and is there a fix?
Thanks!
