I don't know, plenty of reasons; I dislike software deciding for me what I want to do. Maybe the book is not a real book, but some test file and you don't want to artificially increase the number of finished books. Maybe it is a reference book and you just happen to be on the last page (think of a recipe book and you are reading the last recipe). Maybe you are just checking that the formatting is OK and all pages are there, before actually reading the book. Maybe you are using someone else's reader (with permission, of course) and don't want to mess with their database.

If you don't want it finished, and want to reopen to that last page, then use the menu to go the home page or the library.

Assuming you know it is the last page, which also requires to check and think every time to want to turn the page (wait, is this the last page? maybe...). Personally, I'd prefer a dialog: "This is the last page of the book. Do you want to mark the book as finished and return to the home page?" Give Yes/No options and a "Do not ask again" checkmark.

The percent of library complete has changed somewhere along the way. It used to use the number of books in the library marked as finished. Now it uses the above number. That to me is wrong. I think the older calculation is correct here.

Yes, I think I'd like the old one better too. My point is that turning the last page does not only cause the book to be closed and a return to the home screen (this would be just a minor inconvenience, you can reopen the book with a single tap), but it also makes some other changes, at least one of them is irreversible.

Reopening a finished book will always open to the first page of the book. It doesn't use the other clues such as the ToC.

I hadn't noticed that. Good to know (and silly behaviour, if you ask me).
