This bug has shown up on all Kindle boards - and seems entirely due to having Whispernet shut off for long periods of time - if the clock isn't correct the most recent books, or the book you were reading, gets put at the end of the list is you are sorting by "Most Recent First." Turning on Whispernet and updating the clock time resolves the problem - until you turn Whispernet off again.

This is a doubly ironic problem since one of the MAJOR new improved features of the K2 was the improved battery life - BUT - other features (like the clock and sorting of titles) absolutely relies on having Whispernet on - which removes the new advantage of longer battery life. Kind of a vicious circle ain't it?
