Powering off happens, but whether it's me doing it or the Kobo doing it is the question.
I'm tempted to throw in the towel and to get a Libra 2 or whatever new Kobo is coming out. I didn't have these issues with the Libra H20, and I only got the Forma after the Libra got stolen. I then bought the Sage on sale hoping that it would last longer than the Forma does when it gets stuck trying to sync or rebuild the DB.... but that hasn't happened. I love the Forma's weight, but damn this sucks. I've never had a Kobo reader that caused so many headaches.... and I've been using Kobo since the Touch. I didn't buy the original blue button one, but that's it.
This takes me back to the Sony PRS-600 days. Those were bad days - it froze at the drop of a hat, unlike the older models.
