Jumping to a random page is really, the biggest issue with my Kindle. I could never figure out what causes it, so I could avoid triggering it.

Does anyone know?

If it happens by itself (no interaction from you) it's likely a fault. I've had that happen on a Kindle before and had to send it back.

But the most common cause for me is when trying to tap the right part of the screen to move to the next page, I end up tapping a small link instead that jumps deeper into the book. Very annoying when it happens.

I have same issue but i'm going to the holidays and I need it. And I have a lot of books so i dont want to upload them again.

Have you tried tapping the back button when it happens?

Always works on my non-updated 2012 Paperwhite, which incidentally doesn't have this bug (or any bug).
