Who knows, perhaps Kobo is just not meant for you.
Kobo customer service is certainly not the best, however.

Hello,
Thanks for fast reply.
I am glad they work for you.
My moms kobo(s) are the worst for freezing.
She changes font and makes words really large, and I have had to reset her kobo so much it drove me nuts. I exchanged her models many time and reset them all to factory lots. Her Clara's I gave up on after and switched to libra hoping it would solve her isssues, which it did not help. It is her 3rd Libra in 3 months that I am at now. 2 Were returned to store and the third is the one waiting for KOBO to send a replacement..
But as I said her old Kobo Aura has almost never froze but she is on old firmware/software. We dont connect to wifi or pc with it and no new books go on it.
My Kobo Aura works great as well and I almost never froze except if I let battery get to low. But I have also have a clara myself and it freezes from time to time, thou I dont read lots anymore. I went from 8+ hours a day down to maybe an hour a week at best now.
I switched to Kindle Fire for my device now and the others are backup only or if power goes out for long periods.
Anyways glad yours works.
