So, it seems I am not alone.

I have already moved all my ebook files to the internal storage and removed the SD card (supplied with the unit) to see if the V5 pro is more stable.
I will upgrade to the latest firmware.
I will convert all my .mobi files to .epub.
Maybe I will get stability.

Otherwise relatively happy. Would be deliriously happy but for the above. I was going to buy a unit for a present but I am afraid the v5 pro is not ready for the technically uninformed just yet.
Latest firmware did not fix the .mobi issues nor did running from internal memory only (no SD card inserted). There a feeling that lockup may not be as common during page turns while reading a book - hard to quantify - but certainly if the book is left open then when you come back after a long time it will be locked up.

Will move to step two now and check stability.
