It powered up normally, I unplugged it and keeping my finger on the page turn button I was able to skip through more than a hundred pages before it froze again. I plugged it back in, turned it back on and the battery was at 99%, I unplugged it and I was able to do the same thing again before it froze.

Can the battery be bad but still show 100% ?

Is there a battery supplier that has been particularly reliable or should I go with one that has good ratings on Aliexpress ? Maybe this is not the right subject for such a question in which case I'm sorry and would post it again in the appropriate thread.
Another thing to do is check the eBook in calibre's editor or Sigil with epubcheck and see if there are any errors and if so, fix them. Errors in eBooks can sometimes cause problems.
