Apart from that, everything else is standard.
I would add that I downloaded some free gutenberg books to my KT and some of them played havoc with it, causing it to crash etc..
After I deleted them it worked fine. So I think that maybe badly made ePUBs can cause problems.

This of course assumes that you haven't mysteriously adopted some new tapping technique (without noticing) that has elimated your previous problem and at exactly the same time I have developed a sloppy lazy tap (when I have been successfully turning pages for 6 months!)
I'm afraid I haven't developed and Jedi KT tapping powers to ensure consistent page turning.
I find if I tap it really quickly, it misses page turns, but a firm tap seems to work very well and I generally tap it to the centre right of the screen.
but if it WAS working ok for you and now isn't after a firmware update, then it makes sense to assume it's the firmware that's changed something.

I DO think that low quality epubs can affect the performance of the KT.
