OS Rot?
When my HD last updated to the most recent f/w, it seemed to work great guns at first — everything clean and pretty functional. But as the weeks have gone by since then, phantom backwards page turns on right-side taps (or even slides of the finger!) and the unexpected summoning of the dictionary when tapping to turn the page (sometimes resulting in a frozen screen and requiring a reboot, usually achievable via the slider and not needing a pinhole reset) are becoming more common.
Is this something others experience? The books in use at the time are fairly standard ePubs, nothing tricksy in their formatting, usually sub-400K in size, and sideloaded via Windows Explorer through a USB connection. (I've never enabled the wireless.) I wondered if they were damaged books, somehow, so I ran the ones I'd noticed this happening in most recently through ePubCheck, but there were no errors generated at all — nor in Sigil. And I keep the screen and IR ports inside the bezel clean and free of dust, hairs, crumbs, or whatnot.
It seems to be accelerating in frequency. I don't do anything with my HD but read books and delete them from the device when I'm done — how does the software manage to dirty its own nest?
