Yes - it is definitely repeatable. I currently have two books I have found exhibiting this behaviour. As you say the viewer is not expected to write a file in normal use so it is definitely puzzling behaviour.

I have checked and the option to remember the current page is NOT set. I actually tried the option to restore defaults (which set it so the default is to have it set), applied that, and then unchecked it again and applied that. I wonder if there is any other setting that can cause this behaviour?

The new ebook file appears as soon as I click to view the book as epub (before the viewer has managed to display the contents). I do not get any new book file appear if I elect to view the mobi format file I also have (as I expected would be the case).

Is there anything else I can do to try and get you some diagnostics to pin down why it is happening?
