1 1 1 1 1 1 then 5 pages
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. Last edited by Yojinbo; 05-06-2009 at 10:11 AM. Reason: to becomes two in first para. |

Pressing a button for a longer time (> 1/2 sec) will advance 5 pages i.s.o. 1. From the user manual:

The real question here is... Why do you press the button longer once per 10 page turns? Hum...

I don't think I am doing this, but I will make a video and let it be my objective witness.

I can detect a slight change in the brightness in the sensor indicator I am pressing that tells me when I touched the sensor long enough for a 5-page turn. If you press the sensor longer than 2 sec, it cancels the command.
