>> Do you have any source for this?

Just the application of common sense. It was really easy for me to find this messagegroup when I had an operational question on my Kobo. Therefore, it should be easy for others to locate, too. And there's only a handful of true "problem cases" when compared to the numbers sold worldwide. Just my opinion ... but I am not wrong. (grin)

>> ... selling my Kobo ... it is slow ... Bluetooth ... Linux ... a goto page option ...
>> ... if I have an ebook that is improperly formated ...

Don't know how many eReaders at any price will "correct" your "improperly formatted" eBooks.

>> ... intermittent lock-ups when the device would shut down form Suspend mode ...

Sounds like a simple system reset, cleaning up of your "improperly formatted" books, and a restore might have worked. But you've already sold the unit ...

Your complaint of "slow page turns" coupled with admittedly weirdly formatted docs intrigues me. I am reading small- and large-filesize books - all from either Kobo/Borders, Smashword, and other "mainstream" sources. And the page-turning time for me is noticeable, but nor irritating. It feels to me that the further one gets from "traditionally published" ebooks, the more pronounced the page turning time may be. Might be a taxing of the processor in the Kobo. I don't know ...

Long live Kobo.
