Then click the previous page button a couple of times and try to get back to that exact same "screen." Never mind when someone resizes the whole book by changing the words per line setting.
If it doesn't come back to the same screen, isn't that a (very minor) bug? Or at least it doesn't seem how paging should be implemented. For one, it messes with one's spatial memory for the text. (With print books, it is not uncommon to remember which part of a page a passage was on.)
