I just finished reading my first .HTML book on my DR (and my first book on 1.5) and I have having an odd issue. Most page (side and/or bottom buttons) work fine but one out of 10 or so advances 5 pages instead of one. I have to pack page 4 times to get to the right next page. Sometimes I will get two 5 page advances in a row.

I have been pretty careful about how I do this, trying to if I am "grounding" the device with both hands, etc but I don't see a pattern as to when this happens and when it does not. I've seen it in bed, in chairs, in the car, on a charger, on a USB to the computer charging, etc.

What I am going to try next: reading a .MOBI book to see if it happens there (it did not before). I want to try this as I thought that maybe the DR was reacting to some formatting in the .HTML like a page break.

Two questions:
1. Has anyone else seen this exact deal? (I know some folks have issues with the touching of the keys).
2. Any suggestions as to what to so next? I have not opened a ticket (I really don't want to send my reader away for this - I don't know that it is a hardware issue and I can't go back to my tiny kindle screen now).

Overall - love the device.
