I had one book where moon reader could not handle a long chapter and confusingly split it in two. It was one file in the source. To be fair this was a short stories collection so each chapter was actually a story. But some authors do write very long chapters, which break reader app ram limitations.
I have seen bookari get muddled also when there is not one file/chapter per toc entry. I think it was robin Hobbs ship of fools where she had nested headers , for chapters within sections, and bookari toc assigned page numbers that were off by one chapter. An edit to flatten the toc fixed it.
