Funny thing is that the book that I am now reading seems to be corrupted, so I had to do the test on the previous book I was reading, which had also had the freezing problem. (Both books bought from Kobo).

My current book only shows the title of the book at the top of the page and "Chapter 1 -pg 1 of 1" at the bottom, with no text in between. When changing to the next page the bottom changes to "Chapter 2- pg 1 of 1" with no text - and thus continues to "Chapter 3-pg 1 of 1" ..... Any ideas what's going on with my current book?
That is usually a font related issue.Thought there was a particular firmware version that it happened with a lot. I don't remember exactly which version it was, but I think it was later than what you would have as the factory firmware.

Secondly, you recommended that I manually step through the FW until I find one that works and has the features that I like. Would you happen to know what FW followed the Factory FW for a Kobo Touch 905B?
What is the factory firmware? 1.9.12 or 1.9.16? Or did it come with 2.0.0? My N905 Touch goes back to either 1.9.11 or 1.9.12. In any case, have look at the first two posts of the firmware downloads thread. It lists all the firmware versions that have been released with what devices they went to. Find where it fits in and start from there.
