My Glowlight 3 does that. But to be honest, I think I have a screwed up database. My 2015 Glowlight Plus runs nearly identical firmware and there are no issues with sideloading.

On the 3, every time I connect it to sideload and unplug, it goes through all the books all over again. The books on the Home screen are just four random books and it forgets what book I am currently reading.

If I click the Currently Reading button on the home screen, it will open some random book I have opened in the past. But, if I search out the actual book being read, it remembers where I left off.

Also, the 3 never loses any books. It just gets amnesia each time I eject.

My 2015 Plus works perfectly. After sideloading and ejecting, on my home screen it will show whatever book I am currently reading and the other three will be the last three books I sideloaded.
