I thought I was missing something or losing it.
When I'm reading a book and put the KT to sleep and come back to the book I end up exactly where I left off, on the same page. When I leave the KT long enough it goes to sleep and then off. Upon my return I end up on the home page, select my book and am returned to, not the place I was at, one or two pages back. At first I didn't really notice but as time went on something smelled funny. I was reading stuff that I had already read, or was I?
I let it slide for a while until it bugged me enough that I did some experiments and it was true. Return after sleep was on the same page. Return after off was a page, sometimes two, back from where I left off. Good thing I checked. I thought I was losing it.
So there's another mystery for the developers.
(btw if you were wondering I lost 'it' quite a while ago  ) |
I think that's because a "book page" can span several display pages, depending on your settings (font size, spacings, layout of the ebook). If your Kobo "sleeps", it just changes the screen, but the "reader app" is left running in the background, thus it comes back immediately on when waking up the device. When powering down the "reader app" is closed and the device just marks the page number in the book you were on. So when opening the book again, you might end up a couple of display pages away from your original position.
