My nearly first time posting, but didn't want to waste a topic in Introductions forum, so hi

I read a book on Cybook. No light on the unit is lit. I press left(or right) on the multi-function button to turn the page. The light lights up - in green. I wait 5 seconds. The light goes off. No page is turned.

This scenario happens often enough for me to wonder - is this a bug with Cybook in general? With my unit only? I sometimes have to press the button two or three times for it to turn the page. I can't say I didn't press it hard enough, because the unit did react. It just did not turn the page.

The same thing happens when I read manga and press the same buttons to go to next/previous page.

This can have an impact on the speed of page turning mentioned in the other topis, as 1.5s + 5s + 5s and 3 button presses is not just 1.5s. Personally I find it very annoying.

I can hypothesize that the unit is sleeping, and I press the button for long enough for it to recognize that it needs to wake up, but I let go before it's awake, so it doesn't have any idea what woke it and goes back to sleep. But if that's the case, the fact is that the button should be pressed twice (second time when the light's on already), or pressed long enough for the unit to register what it should be doing. I read on Cybook for 3 weeks, but I haven't mastered that technique yet.

What are your experiences?
