Please HELPPP me!! KOReader Goes Crazy After 10 Minutes
I'm having a really frustrating issue with KOReader. After around 8–10 minutes of use, KOReader gets stuck. It won't turn pages properly, and when I try to swipe or use other gestures, it starts triggering completely different actions - opening menus, changing frontlight levels, etc. Basically, the touch input seems to become messed up.
The strange part is that if I turn the Kindle off and back on, KOReader works perfectly again for another 10 minutes, and then the same problem comes back. It happens consistently enough that KOReader has basically become unusable for me.
I've already tried quite a few things, but nothing has fixed it.
My Kindle:
- Model: Kindle 10th Generation / Basic (2019)
- Storage: 8 GB
- Purchased: 2020
- Firmware: 5.18.1
- Jailbreak: Sanctuary
- KOReader: 2026.07
- Previously tried: KOReader 2026.07.1
- Plugins: Bookshelf v4.2.2 only
- No patches installed
Things I've already tried:
- Running KOReader in STOP FRAMEWORK mode
- Completely removing Bookshelf and running KOReader with no plugins
- Downgrading from 2026.07.1 → 2026.07
- Making changes to the defaults script in the root directory based on suggestions from AI
- Restarting/rebooting the Kindle multiple times
None of these made any difference. The freezing still happens after roughly 8-10 minutes of reading.
I've been told that this could simply be because the model has relatively low RAM, but I'm not convinced that's the whole story. There must be some way to make KOReader stable on this hardware, especially since it seems to run normally for several minutes before eventually freezing.
I'm hoping someone has experienced something similar and knows what actually causes this and a fixed solution for this.
