Hanlin v3 Page Turning Button not always Turning the Page

Hi slayda, I totally agree - NOW... lol.

Up until a few weeks ago I had never even ehard of electronic book readers, so I'm still learning about them, and really didn't consider the fact that the readers act differently with different formats. It makes so much sense now, but I didn't really consider it before hand...

Crengine, the software used to display fb2 and rtf on the V3s also suffers from the same, or at least similar, problems. It seems to happen with no rhyme or reason, but more often with fb2 than with rtf, and it can manifest in three different ways:
a) a veeeery long time to turn the page (kinda rare for me),
b) a veeeery long wait and then a reboot (happens the most frequently of the three),
c) a complete crash, requiring you to take something pointy to the reset button hole on the back of the device (fortunately also relatively rare). This is the reason I have permanently attached a paper clip to the clasp of the leather cover.
