As for the root cause of the issue, if switching between books (and waiting the appropriate amount of time) doesn't help, then it's still probably a bug. Do you happen to have a weird USB setup? Or can pinpoint a significant (or not) detail before the desync happens?
If you can, when that happens, try to check the logs and/or check that the cover watchdog is alive (remember, house of cards, I might have missed a corner case).

Also keep in mind that there's a known race condition (in this branch of the code) where rarely, the first sleep cycle on a new cover will either use the previous cover, or a mangled mix of the two. There's a KUAL button to enable a workaround, which isn't the default because it has worse cosmetic downsides (IMHO) . That race condition *might* have been fixed in the latest snapshots, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
I don't have anything wierd about my K3W that I am aware of. I did enable verbose mode and I seem to stop seeing messages from the watchdog when it stops working. Is there a way to check the logs and status of the watchdog from a myts session?

I had assumed that the framework restart in KUAL and launchpad were equally functional, I will start using the KUAL one next time.

Let me know of anything further I ca do to help you sort this out. I guess K3 support is of lesser importance at this point as they are no longer made, but there are still quite a few out here. In terms of function I can do more with my K3W than with the new basic kindle I received as a Christmas gift, which has no audio support and requires major work to enhance. In many ways the new kindles are a step backwards.
