Hmmm... the only freezes I've seen have been rather rare and mostly when I am highlighting in a sideloaded epub. I've haven't seen over heating issues but then this area is not noted for heat. Lots of rain but not that much heat. 
For me, the main item is to make sure that any sideloaded epubs are standards compliant. Use Flightcrew/Sigil and/or epubcheck before sideloading your ebooks. I've had commercial epubs including a fair number of library loans that had issues and when checked into, had oddities such as stuffing the entire ebook into a single file, styles that are not permitted in epubs though they are part of the CSS spec, graphics that have no size control so on a Touch they overflow the screen and on a Aura HD/H2O, they are tucked in the upper left of the screen, etc. The publishers are getting better at being compliant and the majority of commercial epubs are now pretty decent but you still find a lot of the older epubs that have not been re-edited.
Most of the other issues I've seen have been self-inflicted so I can't complain that they are Kobo's fault. Alternate readers, menuing software, etc. are fun to play with but tend to cause issues. |
I disagree with using FlightCrew to validate. It misses way too much to be useable. Use epubcheck or Calibre's validator.
I have seen a lot of ePub that have been updated. I've gone back to some of the shops I have eBooks at and downloaded all of them again and a lot were updated. I did this when my Fictionwise eBooks were moved to B&N and again when my Sony eBooks were moved to Kobo.
