So what is happening is that you are reading a book, when you finish a screen of text, you tap the screen and another screen is displayed. You keep doing this but after a few screens it returns to the first screen worth of text. And that screen is the first screen for a particular page number. Is that correct?
That is what happens sometimes, Yes. Another version is that I can read several pages -- each page a number of screens, of course -- and then the KT freezes.

No, when this happens, the KT ignores touching the screen, pressing the navigation-bar or moving the sliding switch to put the KT to sleep. I am obliged to hold the sliding switch to 'Off' until the KT restarts.

See last above.

I always swipe, as tapping seems not to work for me.

I am using 3.0.1.

I have just discovered that, if when the KT freezes, I leave it for a minute or so without touching it, it will unfreeze.

I am beginning to wonder whether I ought to do another factory re-set.

Thank you.
