I looked at the free sample for Everything We Keep and found that the start reading location of it is set to the page after the table of contents. That is the same place it opens in the Look Inside viewer. I think that the change may be that the Look Inside viewer now obeys the start reading location for the book sample instead of always starting at the cover.

I believe that the "dance" you are seeing when you open this book is caused by the Look Inside viewer scrolling the window in order to keep your current position (the start location) in view as the book render on screen is being altered on-the-fly because images are loaded asynchronously from the text. For me it works much smoother if I open it again because the images are then cached on my PC.

The Things We Wish Were True doesn't have a free sample so I couldn't check it out the same way.
