That's sounds a bit like the oddity of the KEPUB format which, for the strangest reason, needs special span tag markers all over the book for it to be able to remember the reading positions. If you simply take a regular ebook and just rename it to .epub.kepub, reading progress won't work.

However last time I tried (years ago by now, I'm sure) the KEPUB converter couldn't handle Japanese particularly well either so I just ... did it myself by adding an empty <span class="koboSpan" id="kobo.123.1"></span> with incrementing numbers at the start of each paragraph.

With that you can go in and out of the book and not be kicked back to the start of the entire book or the current chapter you're reading; it starts you right at the very same page you left it as it should.
