Hi topcat,
I've got a Touch and Aura HD. I've seen this behaviour on the Touch from the day I first got it, so I doubt it's a issue of database corruption. In any case, at least twice in its life I've done hard resets and reinstalled the firmware, and the behaviour has continued unchecked. It happens on my Aura HD as well, but far less frequently, and I think that's a clue.
What it seems to come down to, in my opinion, is that the Digital Editions logical page and the Kobo display page are often (usually?) different lengths. The difference is affected by font size, line spacing etc. If you switch on the ADE page numbers, you'll see they usually don't line up.
It seems that when the Kobo goes to sleep (or off) and then fires up again, if the display page you were on coincides with the top of an ADE logical page, then the Kobo opens up to the display page you were on. But if the start of the specific logical page you were on actually falls one or even two display pages back from where you were, then that's where the Kobo will open up.
That's how it seems to work for me, anyway. (And just to clarify, I'm only reading ePub books, not kepubs, which I believe use a different display enginge so may get different behaviour in this respect.)
