Powering on, I've had few problems. Like you, it hasn't always engaged, so I needed to repeat slide. Unfortunately, going in and out of sleep, I've had significant problems with the power switch if I slide it all the way to the right. Often, when I slide it all the way right, I get two consecutive actions (comparable to flicking a light switch twice) which results in sleep-wake-sleep, or wake-sleep-wake.
I've solved that issue by making sure I don't go all the way to the right, leaving myself approximately two to three millimeters. Whenever I've needed to power on/off or engage sleep, it works perfectly with that two mm gap. I tried putting a piece of foam (2mm x 2mm x 4mm) against the far right inside the power slide slot, and this worked perfectly. Unfortunately, after a few days, that piece of foam falls out. I cut pieces off of foam sheets that come with adhesive backs (used for crafts).
I'm temporarily back to not using a foam insert, and until I can find the proper adhesive, I've been making do with being quite deliberate with my slider. Unfortunately, it was very difficult to maneuver the power slider with the case (canvas book cover) I bought, so I ended up buying another book cover case.
I found this problem/solution by carefully sliding the switch and seeing exactly where it was engaging. My kobo Touch engages short of the right hand wall, I wonder if there are other units out there like mine.
Frustrating, to be sure, but I can deal with it.
