I had been happily reading with Aura HD on 3.8.0 with no trouble, then started a new book. I usually edit mine in Calibre so the layout suits my aging eyesight, but hadn't prepared ahead so started to read this one as is. All OK and I used the sleepcover at about page 30 before going to sleep. Next morning it had all your symptoms!

Seems like it was the book here as well. I switched to a single book version of the multi-volume book and now everything seems to works as it should.

I dug into the book with calibres editing tools, but there were no obvious formatting errors in the book. But since I wanted to be able to use kobos formatting tools i stripped out fonts, margins, line-height and text-align, so now the single book epub is not original any longer. I did not test the unaltered version extensively, so I could not say for sure if the smaller book fixed the problems altogether or if the reformatting was the ultimate cure.

I had the same impression with the original long book, that the problems accumulated over time.
