I'd like to say all my manga are in the kepub format, as I buy manga directly from the kobo store.

When I first start up a manga after booting up my kobo, (not waking it from sleep) page turning is really smooth and everything. Then after a while, turning pages starts to get slow, and as it gets slow, it also sometimes starts to turn two pages at a time. First turning one, then like 10 seconds later, without me even tapping the screen, it turns to the next page. (I didn't even tap twice when trying to turn a page once.) It also sometimes seems to think that I've tapped in a different location than actually did, resulting in bringing up the reader menu, or turning back a page, or turning the page in the right direction AND bring up the reader menu. It almost feels like the screen needs calibration and all these issues would be fixed. But I am pretty sure it is capacitive, so I know that isn't possible. But if it IS resistive, and there IS a way to calibrate it, please let me know. If anyone has any idea what's going on and how to fix it, please let me know. I am on the latest firmware too.
