OK. It hasn't bugged me much as I have very few books built in that way.

Really? How does on avoid that?
The ways you can do it are:
  • Don't reopen the book. That's when the positions get messed up.
  • Put all the epubs on the external SD card.
  • Before reopening the book, delete the annotations file that is in the directory "Digital Editions/Annotations". The rest of the path matches the path for the book and the extension is "annot". My Kobo Utilities plugin has a function to do this.
  • Delete the directory "Annotations" in "Digital Editions" and create a directory of the same name. This prevents the above file from being created.

The bug is that when an epub is reopened, the contents of the annotations file is merged with the annotations in the database. This messes up the locations that are displayed in the list. This file is produced by the RMSDK and Kobo might not be able to prevent its production or reuse. It is only produced for epubs on the main storage.
