Often when reading a book with footnotes, or links to other references in the book, I have trouble navigating back to the original place I was reading (especially if I've selected a few different locations one after another).

Rarely, in the lower left corner of the screen controls I'll see either "Previous" or "Back". I can't recall which because it's so rare, and I can't seem to make it happen. Normally, the only option is "Home" or "Books", which is never what I want. (I can easily select "Home" or "Books" elsewhere.) Is this normal behavior? My Kindle PW always allows me to go "Back", and has a dedicated button for doing so.

FWIW, I have installed a couple custom patches which allow me to invert the screen ink color, have the original beta features like games, etc. Could these patches affect the lower left "Home/Books/Previous" button? Or is there a patch to force the button to always be used as a "Back/Previous" button?
