Aura freezing after deleting books

I've run into an odd issue with my Aura. I decided to delete a couple of sideloaded books from the uSD card so located them in the library, long press and deleted. Everything looked fine and I continued reading. The Aura is set to power off after 1 hour so the next morning I powered it on and it froze while doing the empty/black boxes on the screen. Ended up doing a factory reset to get out of the lockup.

Since the only difference from my normal use was the deletion of a couple of books, I decided to try that again. Deleted a couple of books from the uSD card and power cycled. Same freeze at what seemed to be the same point with one black and 4 empty boxes on screen. This time, I removed the uSD card and reset. Booted up with blank images where the uSD card books should be. Opened an internal storage book and it read okay. Then I re-inserted the uSD card. After a short wait, the Aura froze. Powered off, removed the uSD card, powered on and got back to the home screen. Inserted uSD card and the Aura froze again. Factory reset, inserted uSD card, processing content and everything is happy again.

Being a bit of a stubborn type, tried the delete and power cycle one more time. Yep, froze up again.

Next question being is that if my Aura is defective in some way or has anyone else noticed this behaviour?

Regards,
David
