Noticed this last night and was wondering if it happened to anyone else...
I used calibre to convert a txt file that I've been reading to epub format to get the reader controls (bookmarks, night mode, etc). The first time I did it, I didn't like the margins so I converted the txt file again with smaller margins. I re-uploaded to the NC and wrote over the existing epub file. Opened the book and the margins didn't change (this isn't really the odd part).

Here's where it gets odd...
I've been reading the book and set a bookmark. I opened the Elephant Child for my daughter to read and afterwards, I used the top right shortcut to open the book again. When I did, the first page opened up and the bookmark was gone.

I backed out to the home screen and went into the library and opened the book through there and the book opened to where I was and the bookmark appeared.

I repeated the steps out of curiosity and when using the upper right shortcut again, the bookmark disappeared and the first page opened. And it reappeared when opening through the library.

Has anyone seen this happen to them? Any idea why it's happening?

TIA.
