The progress indicator on the Home page indicates the correct progress until I reopen the book, then returns to 1% after.
I haven't seen that happen in any of the KFX books I have tested.

It sounds like your Kindle is failing to create or update the file that the device uses to keep track of reading position for that book. You could do some investigation if you attach the Kindle to a PC over USB and examine the file system. Try to find the file that contains the sideloaded KFX book. It will be in the "documents" folder or a subfolder of that. Once you find it there should also be a folder in the same place with the same name as the book file but with the extension ".sdr". Inside that there should be one file with the extension ".yjf" and another with the extension ".yjr". That is where the reading position is kept for a sideloaded KFX book. If those files are missing it would explain the problem, other than finding out why that is happening. (Unusually long filenames might be a possibility.)

I can do a test on my own Kindle device if you can send me a PM with a link to a place where I can download the failing KFX file. (Do not post anything that is under copyright here on MobileRead.)
