Q: 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.

    I now notice bookmarks are being flagged on previous pages instead of the page intending to flag as bookmark.

    For example, if I try to bookmark page 327, iBooks actually places the red bookmark on page 326.

    Please advice if this is a bug on 1.2

    I'm having the exact same issue. I wish they would stop releasing updates that are not tested properly ****** me off.

    Same issue here. Good spot about the bookmark appearing on the previous page (in either orientation). I hadn't noticed that.

     

    It would be good to get an answer and get this fixed in the next version.

    Have searched everywhere for a fix.  Having the same inconsistent bookmark in iBooks problem as you.  Adding the detail that I can press and press bookmark, see nothing, and then go to the bookmark page and see that I'd bookmarked the same page a half dozen times.  Also, it tends to mark the previous page.

    Hi,

    I can confirm all the aboves.

    bookmarks created on the page before.

    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

    ciao

    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.  Also, when you reopen iBooks after closing it, the page is often lost -- it will open to 10 to 20 pages away

    Just to support the complaints...I'm having the same issues. Bookmark is working sporadically and often leaves the bookmark on a page earlier, or later. Funny it's been happening while reading Steve's bio and I'm wondering if this is not one of his practical jokes!!

    ditto; since "upgrading" IOS on IPad 2, Ibook's bookmarks are a) nonfunctional, b) on another page, c) intermittent.  Mostly a).

     

    Any guru fixes yet?

    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!

    I have the same issues with the bookmarking happening on the previous page. At first I kept hitting the bookmarking button and I ended up with a ton of bookmarks on the previous page. This issue is driving me crazy!!!
