I have now reproduced the problem with the bundled AAIW, but I have only managed to do this once. This is what I did (IPad Mini 2, latest IOS):
- Read the book AAIW in book view, somewhere mid-chapter.
- Switch out of MapleRead.
- Let the device go to sleep.
- Leave it for several hours (not sure how long).
- Rotate the device to the other orientation.
- Wake up the device and open MapleRead.
- Sometimes MapleRead will open the book at the cover page, not the last location. When this happens the library view is displayed first with the wait icon, then the book view opens on the cover page. The view is correctly orientated, but on the wrong page.
- Repeat until the problem occurs.

As for the rotation issue, are you referring to the library view or the book view? In general, every time a view is rotated, it takes some time to generate the new rotated view. If you rotate it too fast before it finishes, it may lose the second rotation. Typically rotate it again (and again) is sufficient to correct the problem, especially just after locking/unlocking the screen.

The locking occurs in the book view. Once it happens the view is locked and will no longer rotate (but it will page). Other apps are unaffected. This problem occurs less frequently than the losing location bug, and I have not reproduced it yet in AAIW. Possibly the problems are related.
Thanks for investigating this.
