Question:

I've run into a strange quirk with my current fanfic update setup. Basically it goes as follows:

1. When I'm on the last page, go to the device menu.
2. Connect the device, and store the bookmarks.
3. Set the percentage to 100% and restore the bookmark. (This marks it as read.)
4. When the fanfic updates, re-send it to the device.
5. Disconnect to let the database entries generate, then reconnect.
6. Set the percentage to 99% and restore the bookmark. (This marks it as unread.)

This works, except that even though the bookmark doesn't change (e.g. OEBPS/file0048.xhtml#kobo.471.1) it ends up shifting to the beginning of the chapter I left off. Note that the only changes would be to the title page, ToC page, and the addition of a new chapter (file0049.xhtml).

Is this usual behaviour for Kobo bookmarks?
