I frequently use "Modify ePub" and, similar to Stumped, earlier this year began experiencing the non-intuitive annoyance of the screen display always jumping to the start of the book list after I saved the result of the Modify ePub, but I always want to return to the modified book itself so that I can delete the original pre-modified version, and perhaps move to the next book on the list.

Although both approaches suggested by ILoveJedd and BetterRed provide an easy work-around, it still seems a strange and unnecessary glitch. Using the arrow keys (or scrolling down to find the still-highlighted book) works if I'm not distracted by something else and remember what it was I was doing. I'd prefer to not disable the "prompt to save ePubs" functionality because a) sometimes I've made a mistake and decide not to save the modified ePub, and b) auto-saving a problematic modification can have a domino effect by deleting e a prior original version (just ignore this last comment 'b' if not self-explanatory as explaining would just distract from the main consideration). Hopefully there is an easy answer to removing the glitch itself.
