When the page-forward button gets "stuck" like that, I stop it by hitting the page-back button. After I page back to where I should be, the first time I try to turn the page forward, nothing happens despite the button clearly pressing a switch; the next time, it actually pages forward. It very much seems like the software (I use KOReader, but it doesn't seem to be limited to KOReader) is missing the button-up event every so often, so treating it like the button is just held down until the next time it sees a button-up.
I'm really surprised this doesn't happen to everyone, because it does not feel at all like a hardware problem, but a software one. Maybe there's something going on with the hardware that I just can't feel?

I'm talking specifically about non-responsive page turn presses. The button is pushed and travels the full motion such that the switch should be activated, but there is no page turn.
Someone mentioned it's related to power management and I'm inclined to agree because it seems similar in pattern to some touchscreen sensitivity complaints I've read about with other models and experienced myself that I ultimately attributed to software.
The battery performance is every bit as bad as I was expecting it to be.
