I bought my kobo touch on September 22nd and when i connected to laptop it updated to firmware 1.9.10 and then i copied my entire library from kobo wifi to it on sd card and had no issues.
When i upgraded to 1.9.11 i started having frequent page turn errors and some times the device would freeze while reading ebook. Oh and switching from ebook to homescreen took upto a minute.
So i read about downgrading and did it. This resolved the issue completely.
I then decided why not do a hard reset and upgrade firmware and then see if error was repeated. So since i had time and did not mind remaking all my bookmarks, something i had previously not wanted to have to do, i did the upgrade from virgin state, and then copied all 1,000 ebooks to sd card and checked a couple dozen for error. I was unable to reproduce error and switching ebooks was much faster.
I can only conclude the unique history of setup and upgrades led to these issues. I think maybe the ebook database was corrupted or such and the kobo was functional only because of the robustness of the device firmware. So to reiterate i believe the database had been damaged by user ineptitude and such and the device worked admirably in this case.

I don't think it was user ineptitude. I believe one of the previous updates (.9 or .8) was horrendously mangling either the database or filesystem, and upgrading from that point didn't automagically fix the damage.
If someone is having difficulty with .11,, they should try a clean factory reset / update cycle. Whilte at it, next time I factory reset, I have every intention of backup up my .kobo directory. Surely restoring that will be a faster/cleaner way of fixing any future oopses without completely reformating the read-only portion of the kobo firmware.
