The thumbnail for the second photo is there, but the full sized isn't. The thumbnails showed what I expected.

And oooops, sorry about repeating a very known issue!!! I swear that I looked for it but I didn't find anything. (As proved I'm not very good as private investigator... with your explanation I can clearly see it in the very first issue in the second post of the Kobo bug thread). Again, my fault.

Although it can seem a bit foolish, I'm actually HAPPY knowing this is a common issue. Although there's an easy workaround to fix it, it's clearly a VERY serious bug as it can drive unaware users quite mad. It is so serious, (even more than pdf navigation broken in landscape mode), that I suppose Kobo will fix it soon...
I know what you mean. When you're the only person a problem is happening for, it is very frustrating. And I agree it is a bad problem.

OTOH and as a possible difference, both photos are taken from different books and NEITHER of them have embedded fonts. Nevertheless I can confirm that I'm using "Document default" font setting.
What happens when you choose a different font? If it isn't directly a font thing, it might be triggered by something in the book code. For me, I see a longer pause like you as the page is opened when the book is reopened. Opening the same book as an epub does not have the same pause. For the kepubs I have that I know have embedded fonts, that pause can be 10 seconds or more. If you have an example that shows the problem and can be downloaded, I'd be interested in looking at it.
