FYI if you edit an ePub doc with any tool such as "Sigil" and save the doc without renaming it you may experience this problem if the doc already resides in your reader and you have opened it.

I decided to add a TOC and adjust some formatting to an ePub book I already had on my jb. I saved it under the same name and overlaid it. No problem.
When I opened it. I had opened the pre-edit copy and had paged through it. When the new version was opened it opened to the spot in the book that I was at when it closed. I started paging through it and could not find my updates (TOC included). I did a delete of all "Recent Read" books. The problem still continued. I did a power off/on and still had the problem.

It wasn't until I did a reset and cold boot that I was able to see the revised version with the updates and TOC.

It appears that the unit keeps a working copy of your open docs in a work space in internal memory. When you do a reset this workspace gets flushed.
If the new version was given a different name this problem probably wouldn't have occurred.

Something to keep in mind.
