iBooks bookmarks not working after 1.2 upgrade

I have noticed the bookmarks on my iPad iBooks are not working after upgrading to 1.2 today.

I am unable to bookmark pages when I need to. It only works sporadically.

I have also noticed when closing a book and reopening, the book opens at last bookmarked page instead of last page read.

Please advice about any fix.

win, Windows Vista

I'm runnining iBooks 1.3.2/ios5 and I have some new infos:


-) it happens only on iPad, iphone4/ios5 ok, all fonts size

-) it does not happens on Ipad if selecting the two smallest fonts. it starts to happen with the 'third' font

-) I'm using "palatino" on both devices


waiting for a fix

I too am having this issue. Would love a solution, funny enough the first book I tried to read when I upgraded was "Steve Jobs" and now this is happening.


Bookmarks seem to show up on previous page, font sizing doesn't seem to be remembered when I close the book. Never had these problems before and I've read many books on iBooks.


Just my .02 to make sure this gets fixed.


Thanks!

Same problem here, Bookmark always worked properly before iOS 5. I too noticed this while reading Steve's biography, ironic??


I have noticed that besides it appearing on previous page, that if I turn to lanscape and chose the bookmark it is appearing on the right of the second page of the two that appears as should be. So I wonder if this is some problem of formating between landscape 2 page view and the single page portrait view?


My two cents but this is sure annoying! I have not seen it jump back like some noticed however, just previous page in portrait view!

There is a quick fix. Apple sent out an email asking people to delete their Steve Jobs book and re-download. It looks like a lot of us did not get the email from Apple (me included). I re-downloaded the book and I've had no problems with bookmarks. Check out the link:

Ok, my bookmark issue was fixed by the new iBooks release. I'm still having the problem with it not remembering the font size when I reopen a book. I'm wondering if this could be caused by iBooks on my iPhone as they are syncing. Going to try removing books from my iPhone.


Did try redownloading the Steve jobs book and it was fine as far as bookmarks since the new iBooks release, but again font size is my issue now.
