Hi,
I was wondering if this was normal : I got a Libra H2O working OK and all, but the thing is: the eInk screen drastically slows down when exposed not so cold-temperatures, e. g. 58-60 °F / 16 °C.
For example, when I refresh the screen when reading a book at room temp (71 °F / 22 °C, normally it takes about 1/8th of a second. At 59 °F / 15 °C, it takes one second or even more. If the temperature drops even below things don't improve.

So... should I return my Kobo and ask for a new one without this problem (hopefully) or is it normal for that type of screen?

Thanks!
