If I had to make a wild guess, I'd say newly-converted books. I've seen something like this before--not consistently, but enough--where a book that worked perfectly in, say, 2012, won't convert correctly now in 2015, for whatever reason. Because this changed, or that changed, or Amazon added/subtracted something. (Like the SRL debacle, in Dec. 2011; books that were uploading in November '11 had SRL's set wherever we wanted. Books uploaded in Dec. '11--> couldn't be set to the location we wanted--even the same book files.).

That's my best guesstimate. Two events--files that are being newly uploaded or updated, plus a some-devices soft launch. I could be *completely* and totally wrong, of course, but this feels familiar to me.
