In the last month or so, I've noticed a new erratic behavior for my Gen3. When I hit page forward, or occasionally when I choose a book from the library, the new page displays, but then immediately goes back to the previous page or library display. Sometimes this happens two or three times, and the first time I found it (from the library) it took several minutes of playing with the button to get past that spot.

I think it happens most frequently when the target page is a new chapter or section. I think I've seen it on all types of pages, but not menus.

I thought at first that it might be abnormal wear on the button, but I don't believe that now. I'm positive I didn't see it before installing the latest firmware, but I don't think it started immediately after the update. As a guess (based on experience testing software) I'd say it was a reader bug interacting with some specific code or tag in the book being displayed, but I wouldn't completely rule out a hardware problem.

Anyone else seen this?
Final-freaking-ly!!! Someone *ELSE* is experiencing this problem! I've been having this problem - most often with my much older 64MB Cybook Gen3, but occasionally with the newer 512MB model.

I've found that it *most* often occurs when I get too fast in pressing keys. If I slow down and wait for the LED to stop glowing (as it does on a keypress), the problem disappears.
