No, don't think this is fixed at all!

What I'd like to know is if this is indeed a bug common to Kobos?

I returned my first Aura HD because of glo light flicker, frequent freeze-ups and double page turns, including some instances where it happened every three pages like clockwork! I assumed buggy hardware and figured best to get another unit.

The next Aura HD I got (flawed screen) had the double page turns, just not anywhere near as often as the first one. But there was no way I wanted to live with the big central pinhole in the glo layer.

Now I have unit THREE, with a flawless screen, it has the 2.8.1 firmware after setting it up, and I not only get the double page turns fairly frequently, I've gotten TRIPLE PAGE TURNS!

Clearly, the issue is not fixed here, I'm going to try a factory reset, see if that helps. But before I return yet another Aura, I'd really like to know if the double-page turn bug is on all of them. My eyes love this screen and the screen size, but the reading experience with those extra page turns happening so frequently is not so hot!

It really sucks, I've been trying to get a passable unit since ordering 2 days after they announced the reader, and here we are, three months later and still issues.
