Kobo H2O bug

I recently purchased the Kobo H2O and I'm using the stock firmware that came with it, version 4.6.9995. I've read about 15 books on it.

I like to use Sigil to edit out any typo's in my books so when I come across one I bookmark it for later editing. Today I was editing a couple of books and I noticed something odd.

Many of the typos displaying on the Kobo don't appear in Sigil. Here's a few examples;

1: Double words. eg: "I believe believe you are mistaken" on Kobo displays as "I believe you are mistaken" in Sigil.
2: Insertion of words. eg: "I went to the to store" on Kobo displays as "I went to the store" in Sigil.
3: Missing words. eg: "Jesse walked the door" on Kobo displays as "Jesse walked through the door" in Sigil.
4: Letters displaying incorrectly. eg: the word "clipped" in Sigil (correct word as per the context) is displayed as "dipped" on the Kobo regardless of the chosen font or font size.

I find it bizarre that the Kobo could just insert whole words, delete whole words and display letters inaccurately like this.

Anyone else come across this problem?
