[Kindle] not remembering reading position
Is anybody else experiencing this problem? I'm on PW3 v5.13.2, I'm reading a book then go to homescreen, when I return to the same book it will have jumped to the next chapter.

All the books I read are sideloaded AZW3 imported through calibre.

I just tested this with my PW3 on 5.13.2 and I have no problem. I end up at the page I left off.

It's happening sporadically.

I'm using an older version of calibre due to outdated macOS, could this be the reason?

Hi raghiid,
I had the same (or simular) problem with my voyage:
When I returned to a book the last read page was show, but when I tried to jump to next page, my kindle jumped to the 1st page of the next chapter.
To solve (?) the problem I did two things:
1) I deleted all custom fonts on my voyage (crazy but helped with most ebooks)
2) I converted the ebooks agin to AZW3, but in the AZW3 export options I left all options empty so a table of contents got generated at the end of the ebook.

Dude thanks so much for your input, I have deleted all custom fonts and as for azw3 options they are already empty. Will report back if I notice it again!

I cannot see how custom fonts could cause this issue. It makes no sense.

What is the source of these eBooks that are not working correctly?

Pirated

It actually worked. I have not put custom fonts back to see if they cause the problem.

Then it's not really a problem. If you have a problem with purchased or Calibre converted (from legal sources), then come back. But do not come here asking for help with pirated eBooks. We will not help you.

Do not ask for help with pirated books nor advocate piracy in any manner again. This is your only warning. Thread closed.
