Sometimes I need a break from reading novels, I get too emotional. Usually I turn to mysteries.
This time I decided to try an author I didn't know anything about, had never read but had seen everywhere:
Dean Koontz.
Did you just cringe? Yeah. Anyway, I got one of his books from the library and started reading.
(Coincidentally that's when I started having nightmares.)
I forced myself to read on thinking 'it's experience" and I "just wanted to get through the book". Are you shaking your head at me now?
One night (at 2:30am no less) I was reading away and my Kobo froze. This has never happened. I was seriously alarmed. I rebooted it, plugged it in to the laptop, pushed the reset button on the back - nothing.
Finally I got it to respond but ever since it's sporadic and won't always turn off. I'm super sad because I love this thing to death and don't want to hate Kobo for making a device that dies 13 months after I buy it.

Oh no! Hopefully, it's a glitch that will remedy itself.
Really hoping that it wasn't the Koontz but you never know. I intentionally avoid the horror genre because of my overactive imagination... Had one the other night where the apocalypse was pending and I had to decide what to pack for the aftermath. Then it turned into a romantic comedy with Mark Ruffalo. Not sure which was more disturbing but I'm leaning toward Ruffalo. WTH?
Ugh, I hope it wakes up! I think e-readers aren't the most robust technology. My Kindle was a bit glitchy and died after 1.5 years, and I've had my new Kobo freeze a couple times too.
Ugh, Koontz. I read him in high school, and I remember some really disturbing stuff from him books. That could have really done it!
Thankfully, I've never read Koontz. Sounds too dramatic for me-- especially if he can corrupt your electronics! Hope the Kobo recovers. :(
