VladimirS, I read your post you pointed to and your explanations of this freezing phenomenon seems reasonable to me. However, there is a one or two things here; this particular model of PocketBook, i.e., Era Lite was release just this year and I bought it shortly after it was released...
If the cause for freezing is in fact aging then either I'm a really heavy e-reader user - which I don't think I'm, since I'm using my reader daily for about 1-2h max - or the battery the manufacturer put into my unit was already impaired for some reason (which I don't think impossible, but undesirable for sure if that's the case).
If we may safely assume that both reasons could be rejected, then I would aim my finger vaguely in the direction of the software itself, although this is just where I would likely start my research if I were to find it out what is the reason here and not a strong argument. However, the SW is not public.
Although I have to admit that I may be too much attached to the hypothesis about fault SW, which could be seen in my review, since I posted the issues with freezing under "The Software" section... Maybe I have too much trust in the HW
