Wacky Page Turn Screen Behavior

I've had my Glo for about -oh, 4 months. About two months in, I noticed some wacky page turns... The "flash" picture on the screen would split down the middle vertically, half of it black and half of it white.

I don't know if this could be an ebook formatting issue, a once-in-a-while glitch, or...something for which I should replace my Kobo.

It doesn't happen routinely. It will happen if I do to many fast page turns, or reverse page turns in succession. It will happen sometimes between chapters, or between chapter division titles which appear separately from new text, which makes me wonder if there could be ebook formatting issues. I've experienced this on KEPUBS and sideloaded material.

Also...one time I was trying to read - and also to try to keep count of how many pages before the vertical flash thing would happen again (which of course made the reading less enjoyable )....and it happened at about 25 pageturns in; not associated with chapter divisions or headings.

Anyone else have this going on?


(I'm hoping I won't have to return the thing. It was an Indie store purchase; lost the receipt, of course. On the other hand, I can probably located the transaction number on my credit card bill).
