This is so annoying! I had several books started and it's happening with all of them (but with different progress percentages).
That is almost definitely a sign that the database on the device is corrupt. When that happens, the database cannot be updated during normal processing. When you restart the device, the corrupt database is read, and the data is from before the corruption happened. Some things might be getting updated, but not all. But, the bookmark is probably working because you are reading epubs and these are store in two places.

Unless you have a backup of the database, the only real fix is to sign out of the Kobo account and back in. This will create an empty database and then reprocess your books. Unfortunately, this will mean you lose the book status and collections for all the sideloaded books. If you are a calibre user, you can store the reading status using my Kobo Utilities plugin, but it is probably to late to do that. And I assume you are not a calibre user as you almost definitely would have seen a database error when connecting by now.

Regarding the other problems... I am manually turning the device off every time I finish reading to keep the battery from draining, since even if I set the light to 0% it seems to go back to 1% on its own, and to set the light to 0% I use the menu at the top of the screen.
Were you setting the light to 1% via the side-swipe before putting the device to sleep? I've seen a report that this was the way to reproduce the problem. If the light level is higher, it doesn't happen. This might explain why I have never seen the problem, but, there are some other reasons that for that as well.
