I noticed a few times that when I page forward, lets say 20 pages, and then page backwards 20 pages I'm not at exactly the same spot were I left. There can be a displacement of one or two lines.
My guess was that it is the 'text flow'. When you page forward you'll start with the first word of a new line and the rest is filled in until the page is full. When you do that backwards there is the possibility that the flow algorithm gives you a slightly different page layout. That does not really matter if you end up with the same number of words on the page, but as soon as you have the situation were only one word more/less fits on the page, the next page will have a different starting point. From that moment on the shifting will worsen. Especially in the English language that is a real possibillity because of the one letter words like "I" and 'a'
