I believe that's the same problem as the "last page" not being remembered. Keep in mind that "reset" is a hard reset. IE, it kills the device without giving it any time to gracefully exit/save/etc. Things like the current page, bookmarks, etc are not saved correctly in the situation.

The way I think about it is that the reset is only for emergency use, IE if the device has locked up or something similar. It's not really a "shutdown/restart" button.

There was some work done a while ago by some community users on a graceful shutdown feature. Maybe it's time to dust that off and start looking at it again.
