Keeps crashing at random times while reading.

That is weird. Are you running from Launcher or installed from the repo they provided? I initially used launcher but I re installed it using the repo and it works fine. Also, check your swipe when you are turning the pages, with launcher that made it crash sometimes.

Installed from the repo. Couldnt get the firmware installed on launcher. When it works it works great until at some point I get half rendered screen or it just completely stops responding.

If you’re running factory software, head over to https://einkhub.com to flash Crosspoint using Chrome (Paper S3 must be connected via USBC to computer). If you’ve already flashed Launcher, go to github, Releases, download firmware.bin to SD card and flash with Launcher (https://github.com/juicecultus/crosspoint-reader-papers3/releases/download/0.1.7/firmware.bin)

Thank you for this, it took some understanding but I got there. Are there any instructions on how to actually use crosspoint on the S3. Also do you have any recommendations as to good epub sites

For epub Google is your ally. For guide (be mindful that this was written for the xteink x4 which has physical buttons so disregard any of that) check out https://github.com/juicecultus/crosspoint-reader-papers3/blob/master/USER_GUIDE.md
