I've recently bought a Leaf2 to replace my old Kindle Keyboard after many years. It's been a bit of a learning curve.

The first book I read on it was fine. The current and second one got weird.

I got through several chapters, usually closing it for the night at a chapter break. One night I opened up the thing and started reading, then another chapter, then another, and suddenly I was at the end. It had jumped the middle chapters by itself.

The jump escaped me because the book itself is unusual in form - Gary Shteyngart's Super Sad True Love Story. Each chapter varies between narration, letters from the protagonist, and social media posts from his love interest. And it's got weird time slips so getting lost in the flow of things is common - a bit like Kafka's The Trial where chapter order doesn't matter. (OK, not that bad)

So, is my sudden jump experience likely to be something I did or has it happened to others?
