I had a look at the book. It contains a single internal file. It has what looks like two levels of chapters, but, both have h1 tags.

The time taken to display the page number when the book is opened is because the book is one file. The file has to be parsed to calculate the page number. The bigger the file, the longer it takes.

The page number updating properly is related to this. I have a test book create in a similar way that has similar problems. There are problem with the page number progress when a kepub does not have a strict one-to-one relationship between the ToC entries and files. Kobo's kepub standard implies this is the way the books should be constructed, but doesn't actually make it mandatory. I can't work out with this book what triggers the actual page update.

On the Forma I use the buttons to turn the page, and I usually wake the device by pushing the button, though I did finally break down and buy the overpriced cover for it so have started waking it with the cover now as well.

I have not been able to reproduce the issue of it going to sleep in 60 seconds after it happened the second time so I don't know what specific set of steps caused this to happen. Considering that this book definitely has issues I am just going to consider this a book problem unless I see it happen in another book at some point.
Probably a reasonable thing as it can be hard to look at problems when they cannot be reproduced.
