I would buy this reasoning, except I didn't/don't experience these issues on other devices. Specifically the NOOKtouch and Sony 950. Others have no issues on their non-Kobo devices. So, if I own three eink devices, and I'm only having a problem on one of them (with the same stored content), then there's a problem with that device. From the posts in this forum it appears that many are lifelong Kobo users and haven't used anything else or their expectations are minimal and fault tolerance is high.
