This bug has been discussed here for a couple of months with pretty much what you describe as the solution. What is the difference you are proposing? Your description of what you think is happening is interesting, but the screenshots are not there, so its hard to see if it is different. Also, you will get a very similar problem if you use the TOC to navigate to a different chapter.

This is definitely a firmware bug. It happens with both sideloaded and purchased kepubs. From memory, it started with 2.8.1.

One possible workaround is to select a font other than "Document default". All the books I have seen this happen with had embedded fonts. By blocking the use of the embedded font, the page is displayed immediately. Others have reported that it occurs under other circumstances, so this isn't all that is happening.
