December 13, 2020 at 5:39 PM LONDON — John le Carre, the spy-turned-novelist whose elegant and intricate narratives defined the Cold War espionage thriller and brought acclaim to a genre critics had once ignored, has died. He was 89.

In such classics as “The Spy Who Came in from the Cold,” “Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy” and “The Honourable Schoolboy,” Le ... Tags: Books, England, London, News, Germany, Berlin Wall, Iraq, Berlin, Africa, Sport, Ap, Bbc, David, Austria, Britain, Soccer49 people like this. Like

September 8, 2020 at 9:53 AM Hello!
I have a kobo mini and it's screen kept freezing after 30 seconds or a minute.
I changed the microSD card (thanks for the image David) and it started working again I set it up from scratch it worked perfectly for another 2 minutes then started freezing again. Now it sometimes it freezes even when I don't tap on the screen.
Is there something I can do or something that I should check so it keeps working properly?
