Slow Page Turn

I started reading off my glo again last week and gradually over the last week the page turn has gotten worse and worse.

I did a factory reset to wipe it clean and it's updated with the latest firmware. I have tried a few times to do a quick reset but that hasn't helped. I'm up to my 3rd book, so I don't think it is the books.

Is there anything I can do to stop my glo from being so sluggish?

Do the page turns get slower as you get further into the book, and then go back to normal when you start a new book?

The only times I have had slow page turn problems has been with certain books which either had broken TOC entries, or had not been properly broken up into one-file-per-chapter, or had extremely long chapters (hundreds of pages per chapter). In the last two cases the page turns become slower and slower the further into the book/chapter I read. In all cases the problem was fixed by deleting the book from the device, doing an epub to epub conversion of the book with Calibre, then reloading the fixed book.

The page turns are slow from the get go.

I will try deleting it and doing a epub to epub conversion and then putting it back on my ereader.
