Does 3.15 do this on other devices? Do other Kobo devices perform this way? I agree with Nate. It's most likely the FW. Sorry to be a downer.

That happens on my Glo HD and regular Glo. What's happening is that I'm tapping to advance the pages much faster than any e-ink screen can render them. So it keeps advancing but stops bothering to render the pages (there's really no need to since you're just advancing pages ahead), or else it would have to stop advancing the pages as the other choice.
Which oddly is what the PW2 does, it just stops. Keep tapping and it just quits responding after a few taps and no longer advances the pages at all. I thought that like the Kobo it might just stop rendering the text and after awhile it will catch up and it'll pop to another page where it should, but it never did that either. There is another way on the PW2 that brings up a smaller page where you can advance quicker, and there it does render the pages, but at a slower pace.
So I really have no problem with the Kobo readers just having blank pages but letting you keep advancing the pages.
Now compare that to the many-years-older Sony PRS-350 and they both fail miserably. You can keep your finger held in the swipe position and it will keep advancing and rendering each page fully and perfectly, and faster than the PW2 does with the special option pulled up to advance pages.
