A little background: I Have a Kobo Clara HD, had a Forma, have a Libra H2O and now a Sage. The Clara HD is for Backup and left switched off. The Forma had button problems and went on to Goodwill. The Libra H2O has button problems and I chose the Sage over Libra 2 because of the its extra capabilities, which I have yet to use. I manage my ebook library on my iMac using Calibre.
I read a lot. I get about six hours on the Sage, reading with the WiFi on and Bluetooth off. Brightness is at 30 percent and Natural Light is balanced at 50 percent.
Lately, I have noticed that the Sage will freeze on page turns using either the buttons or swiping. I can release the freeze by closing the cover and reopening it. A second issue is the the Sage unilaterally chooses to switch the natural light mode on and off at random. Not sure wither that is related to the page refresh function or not.
The worst issue is updating the Sage's library or adding books to it. At least six times now, I have added books from Calibre via USB and instead of importing the books after being ejected, the the Sage has rebooted in the factory refresh mode, and I have to log into my Kobo account. The Sage then tries to import my library from who knows where, and freezes at either 45 or 65 percent. If I power off the Sage and restart it, and reconnect it to Calibre, I can download the books missing from the on-board library of approximately 1000 books.
Has anybody else had the latter problem? If so, what was your solution?
