I think my Oasis is possessed.

From the beginning I’ve had the problems of it changing the reading progress setting randomly while I’m reading and displaying error messages about the cover being incorrectly attached, unauthorized, or missing. Both of those could possibly be user error so I just reset the reading progress and reseat the cover as needed and carry on.

Lately though, it’s been turning pages and/or rapidly and repeatedly refreshing the screen by itself. It seems to only happen when I’ve been reading for quite a while so I’ve wondered if it might be heat related somehow. When it starts acting up I can set it down and it will sometimes continue flashing for a while even if I don’t touch it. I can also sometimes cause it to do the same thing if I press on part of the bezel (being careful to not touch the screen); looking at it with the wide bezel on the right it’s the lower third of the wide side of the bezel that has the problem. It doesn’t happen often, so far at least, so I’ll just keep it for now. It has the best screen of any ereader I’ve had so I’d rather not take a chance on a replacement unless it gets really bad.

ETA: I also get occasional screen freezes requiring a restart. I've almost never had that happen with any of my other ereaders.
