Kindle not saving reading position if custom font is used
Has anyone experienced this?
In all my kf8 format books converted in calibre, if I'm using a custom font and I exit from the book and return to it, the kindle jumps and skips to the next chapter. But if I'm using one of the default fonts, it acts as expected. |

Do you know which firmware you were running when you first experienced this?

Having the custom fonts installed, but selecting any of the default fonts, the reading position is saved. But selecting any custom font, and then exiting the books the reading position is not retained (I can literally see the progress percentage on the cover of a book jump from say 4% to 18% upon returning to the homepage). |

I suggest you try the same book and font to see if they work for you. That will help to narrow down whether the problem is specific to your device. |

I have! Also de-registered and re-registered the device, didn't work either. Talked to support through chat, but they were very robotic and unhelpful.

EDIT: I did try another AZW3 here and it exhibited the same behaviour. Last edited by raghiid; 03-20-2021 at 12:36 AM. |

I cannot replicate that problem on my Kindle Oasis. I loaded that book and set the font to Charink. I am able to open and close it without it changing the location within the book. |
