So now the second key press is queued up and gets processed as well.
While this might be true, it doesn't explain why some devices behave this way and others don't - for example, my Libra 2 doesn't do it, but the OP's Libra does. I'm no speed reader, so differences in reading speed are probably not the cause in this case.

AFAIK basically all Sages do it, but with other Kobo models it doesn't seem to be so absolute.
