The following problem has happened to me both times I've bought a book from Kobo after reading the preview on my Kobo Touch:

I read the preview to the end, and then bought the book (once on the website, once on the device). When I try and read the book, it starts on the title page, and won't get page-turn past the early pages of the book ("other books by this author" on one "reviews of this book" on another.

If I look in the Table of Contents: all the chapters are there twice.

If I use the TOC to get to a chapter: I can page-turn all the way to the end of the chapter, but then it takes me back to the same page it got stuck on above.

The first time it happened I fixed it by deleting the book from my library, and then putting it back by settting a bookmark on the kobobooks website (NOT an obvious way to get it back!).

Does anyone else have this problem? If so, is there an easier workaround?

Thanks.
