My other problem with the way they display location is the bar along the bottom. So, they have an arrow pointing at a spot on a bar. They also have the bar grey to a certain point, which is normally far beyond the arrow. I have never been able to figure out what the arrow means and the grayed-out part of the bar. They both move as I read a book, but at different paces. When I place a bookmark it puts a box in the bar, but frequently before either the arrow or where the gray part of the bar is. Does anybody get what I mean?
Yes. I've noticed the same thing about the marker lagging. I don't know why it does it, though.

The grey is the unread portion.
The pace could be jumping on heavily formatted sections of a book. I've seen a table display hundreds of locations on a single page.
