The problem for working it out is the "sometimes". For me, it didn't happen all the time. And each of the "sometimes" above didn't happen every time. I think I was seeing about 50% for the dirty bit but less than 10% for the read-only. I assume there was something in the books, or the user configuration, or something like how long between turning a page and plugging in, or when the last sleep was (that commits the reading session) or some other absurd sounding thing going on. And my devices all behaved a little differently. I could never figure it out. Which I think you saw elsewhere.

While I can appreciate that it may be hard to reproduce consistently, 50% of the time sounds rather good for reproducing a bug.
And if there are user's who can reproduce it 100% of the time, Kobo could reach out to the users for help in reproducing it.
If they thought it was worth it.
Although being fed bug reports with a silver spoon is always nice.
