With a sideloaded kepub (and it looks like it's only this book, BUT i'd been reading it for a while and it wasn't doing it from the start) via Calibre with the extended plugin, I stop reading on ch5, go to home, and the % is 0 and it reopens at the beginning. I then go to ch5 via TOC. If I put a bookmark on ch5 and go out again the % is still 0. It shows there's a bookmark but when I open it it tells me there is no bookmark and again it opens the book at the beginning.
I've tried first switching on/off and then a factory reset, this one book is still doing it (and it was working fine before... before I went 2.8.1 but even the first few days of 2.8.1 !) while another one I tried is not. Mah.

As it is one book that this is a problem for, then it probably is something about the book. And as you are sending it as a kepub via the extended driver, it might be something in how the kepub is created. I would recommend discussing this in the extended driver thread or raising a bug and supplying the original epub to the developer.

remember this, david?
I think it was/is a problem to the TOC of that book (possibly only with that chapter, idk!). I've been trying the same procedure on other chapters *btw,, I always was trying to bookmark on the first page of a chapter* and it works, I can now bookmark (and I then see the bookmarks), when I re-open the book it opens on the page I was reading and on the home the tile for the book shows the right reading %.
Idk what it is, the only weird thing is that when I go to the TOC of the book, wherever I am, it indicates I'm always on the first chapter.
When I was getting it ready to be transferred to the device I used the edit TOC function in calibre to ONLY rename the TOC titles, because the first 20 or so were "chapter 1, chapter 2, etc" while the others had the chapter title. So I adjusted the entries to have them all similar with the titles of the chapters. Maybe only that ch. 5 has a problem...I'm now around ch 8, and I'm sure I also modified its toc title, still, it works.
Anyway, all seems to be normal now (and I didn't do a thing, I was waiting to run out of battery first).
- sorry for the long post/hijacking the topic with this, seems now unrelated to kobo and more a book problem -
