If it's plugged in at the time, the freezing doesn't happen.

I've done a full factory reset multiple times to try to diagnose this.

All my books are sideloaded using Calibre and

I've found that if I remove the cover in Calibre, factory default the Kobo, then load the new coverless book, I never have a problem.

I've found one reference of someone with the same issue: https://www.reddit.com/r/kobo/commen...i_open_a_book/

I am pretty sure this is a software problem with the Kobo.

Any advice?
Are you using firmware 4.38.23038? If not, I suggest you update to the newest firmware.

Are you reading ePub or KePub as they use different programs to display them?
