1. Start a book. (In my case, a sideloaded EPUB in internal memory.)
2. Power down. Observe the cover and progress stats.
3. Add some more sideloaded books to the library by connecting the Kobo to your computer and copying the files over. (I added 5 EPUBs - again, internal memory. Note that Calibre is not involved.)
4. Eject, disconnect, and let the Kobo detect the new books.
5. Use the Library menu to add the sideloaded books to the proper shelves.
6. Dismiss the newly-added tiles from the home screen.
7. Power down. Observe the lack of cover and stats.

Once I reopen the book, the cover appears as it should - but I shouldn't have to do that; my "last read" book shouldn't change until/unless I open a different book.
Sometimes when I sideload epub books to the Aura the last read book stays the same, sometimes it doesn't. 50/50 chance it seems.

PS When I sideload or delete books using calibre with the Aura the cover does not show when it is off until I open the book again. Used to happen on an earlier firmware, but on Aura just says Sleeping. which is better than loathsome square face Just started happening with 2.6.1
