Strange flipbar behavior
I'm experiencing weird issue with my DR800SG from the beginning. Sometimes, when i flip a flipbar, reader goes not to the next page, but to the current+2 or +3 or even +5 (that is, if i'm reading page #100, after flipping a flipbar reader may present me page #102 or #103 or #105).
Has anyone experienced such a problem? |

Which way do you have your flipbar setup? The default of flipping right to go to the next page seems to be more reliable than setting it up to flip left. Something in the way the bar is designed. I prefer mine setup left, but have to be a little careful in how I flip it. There are spots that work better than others, IE pressing towards the bottom of the bar doesn't work as consistently as pressing closer to the top/middle.

If it jumps +5, that's the software doing it. A "long" press of the flipbar will cause the plugin to turn 5 pages. The iLiads used to have an issue where normal presses would erroneously show up to the software as a long press. I haven't seen that problem on the DR800 though.
If it jumps +2 or +3, etc, that's probably the bar not being pressed firmly or in a position that causes it to register funny. The bar tells the app that you hit it twice, three times, etc. Could be a hardware design issue, and it seems to happen more when pressing left. Pressing right doesn't seem to have as much of a problem. |

I have a similar experience with DR800SG, which occurs so often. When I flip, it doesn't go to the next page and just stay in the current page. So I flip again, it goes to the next next page, that is, it turns 2 pages at once. It makes me miss the 'original' next page and do flip back once again. I don't know any of the condition at which it occurs - just any time suddenly. So inconvenient error to use the device.

In my case, it just sometimes turns 2 or 3 pages at once. It never missed my flipping. |

I hold it from the bottom, and use my thumb to press the bar either left or right.

Maybe not exactly the same problem is it, but just another flip bar related problem did I mean. And it's not long page loading time what I indicated in my case. When the problem which I mentioned occurs, the device ACTUALLY doesn't go to the next page EVER, whatever seconds I wait for. I've seen this case so many times, using my DR800SG. At this situation, finally I flip once again, then it turns 2 pages at once, skipping 'the next' page.
