Yep. Had this problem. Just sent back my Kobo Touch because of it.

What I found out: if you let the reader sit for a while, it will eventually -- sometimes it takes up to 30 minutes -- move forward, so you don't need to reset. That of course doesn't make reading easy.

I spent a while trying to figure out what was causing it -- disabled all sorts of things, nothing made it better. Got rid of books, tried smaller books. That didn't help. It seems to occur about 20 minutes or so after I started reading each session. If I left it alone and waited for it to advance after freezing, it would take less time to "unstick" each time.

I wound up contacting Kobo and just got a replacement reader in the mail.

If they hadn't offered a replacement, I was going to go into the developers thread and try to manually update it back to the 2.1.5 version I was using for a long time because it was so nice and stable.

I wish I had more to report to you. Kobo wasn't sure if it was a touchscreen issue or a software issue. Seeing more reports of problems makes me think it's software, and not a coincidental touchscreen issue on the same day I updated.
