And, the bug isn't affecting all these devices. I have tested both my Touch's and my Glo. None have any problems with the font. I'm not saying it isn't happening to others, but it isn't as simple as the new font kills the device.
Many Glo's are sold here, new and/or refurbished, maybe old party or leftovers but they are, from 49 refurbished till 89 new.
But,thats local .

For sure it isn't as simple as that.. offcourse not.. that would be to simple ( joke) and that makes it a "hell of a job" for testers.
As my wifes has maybe 80 books on their reader but I don't consider that as really a lot..
The problem is, to find the combination that leads to the problems.
Is it installation over installation and never return to factory resets ?? It will hard to find out what people have in common.
But the other way around,until the introduction of the new font,it didn't happen so you cant say: the new font kills the device, but it has someting to do with it.
By the way, I reply to you but that doesn't mean that I want an answer, it is just a common thought... I think when people do noticed it,it is better to say like Geoffr does: Tell what book,what did you do,how many books,how big database..
In my wifes case I was so stupid not to record this, it was a stephen king book,but she has 30+ of them on it and I already switched back to 3.17.3, I can't take the reader now because she has a 48+ shift in the hospital... and she won't like me to do it again I think
