kobo ereader freeze problem
do someone know what happen? in the past just kobo clara hd have this problem, but now my kobo forma have this problem too. Device freeze, cannot turn page, cannot go sleep cannot turn off, the only thing i can do is just put on the desk and wait until the battery empty. Is a little bit better on forma somehow rapidly press the power button make the device reboot.

My Forma has frozen periodically (not often--maybe 3 or 4 times, total), starting with the original firmware it came with, and it just did it again today on FW 4.22.15190. Holding the power button for 30 seconds, releasing it, and pressing it again does nothing. Neither does holding down a page turn button while pressing the power button, either while connected to a power source or not, or after charging for a couple of hours or not. I've tried several procedures several different ways, and it makes no difference. The only way I've been able to get the Forma working again is to let the battery drain completely, and then start from scratch. Today was the first time I was able to get it working again without a complete battery drain, so perhaps this firmware is better at recovery than earlier versions.

When it happens on my Aura One LE, I just plug it into a charger as it looks to be a low battery condition as seen when it is "working" again.

Has anyone checked out the books being read when the device acts up?
