That, and the fact that the freezing can be better described as a "slow processing", makes me feel that the problem has to do with memory buffering.

What makes it even more interesting is that my wife's Kobo Touch (same vintage and same books as mine) never had this freezing problem - (although it does have the "Annotation/Bookmark problem" that we've both been experiencing since updating to firmware 3.8) - AND THE FONT SHE USES IS LARGER THAN THE ONE I WAS USING WHEN I EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM.
Has anyone else experienced similar results for this problem when increasing their fonts?
