twitchy touch screen freezes often

I've read only 2 books so far and the screen has frozen a few times requiring me to shut down and restart. One out 4 page turns require a double or triple touch. I had to do a paper clip restart after trying to play sudoku.

love my kobo

I am a shift worker, and read on boring night shifts. I have had my kobo for about 5 months and don't have any complaints. I can read outside and see the screen. The battery life is amazing; I can read for 6 hours per night and I sometimes forget to charge it and still have battery life. The font size is adjustable, which is great when I am tired and don't want to strain my eyes. I'm a happy customer!

Two weeks of use .. and away!

I bought my Kobo Touch and after two weeks of use the screen stopped working. The screen went completely blank and the device does not respond to "basic reset" or the "factory reset". A real problem for me. I do not live in Canada and I have complications to access service. Two weeks of use .. and away!

Disappointed

I bought this for my husband as a gift and after a year of having it (maybe 5 hours use total) the battery has completely gone dead and will not charge.
