[bksvol-discuss] numbering problem causing book to reset every time?

I have a question about two books from Bookshare.  I believe this is
on topic because it MAY have something to do with the scanning/editing
process. If this is not the correct place to ask, though, please let
me know.

I have several books loaded on to my reader, from NLS, from Bookshare,
I think one from RFB&D, and some music.

In two of the books that are from Bookshare--and only these two
books--every time I navigate away from the book, or turn my reader
off, the book has gone back to a certain spot in the book, same spot
each time. For those two books alone the reader seems unable to hold
bookmarks or place markings.

Additionally, when I try to navigate by percentage, the percentage I
leap is always to the next consistant place in the book. That is,
whether I go 4% or 10%, that leap always takes me to the SAME next
spot.

Finally, when I am listening to one of these two books, my reader just
shuts down or gets the equivalent of a computer freezing up when I try
to do too much navigating in a short time. For instance, if I try to
go back a few words and another few words, or try to do "spell" and go
back a few words, then pause or something like that.

It only happens with these two books.

Could there be a setting in the books that might be wonky? I just
can't figure out the problem. The other books from all sources,
including Bookshare, are navigating fine by the page number or
percentage, are not shutting the reader down or freezing it, and are
able to retain bookmarks and place markings.

So my bottom-line questions is, could this be a Bookshare setting
somewhere in these two specific books?
