We only notice the page flip when we reopen the book the next time.
I believe this is the cause because Marvin also often flips pages for me – when it shouldn't – when I make highlights, or when I simply tap a word towards one of the edges of the screen (right, left, top, or bottom) to look up its definition, etc.

Probably the same problem as losing position when switching device orientation. I read in portrait mode most of the time, but there are times landscape mode is preferable (e.g. while eating). Every orientation change messes up my current page. It gets worse the farther I am in a chapter. My suspicion is that the current chapter position is stored as a percentage with a fixed number of decimal points (or no decimal points), so whenever Marvin is reading the stored value, it is effectively rounding down and therefore flipping back one or more pages.
