Kindle and brail display, sometimes jumping to the end of following page when panning... Any similar experiences or advice

Hi,

Having a very frustrating time with the kindle app and my brail display (it's a Vario Ultra 20, though I don't think that matters). When reading, hitting D5 to advance, I'm finding that sometimes, not all the time, the brail output will skip over the entire page, landing on the last line even though voiceover is reading from the first line. It doesn't happen all the time, just some of the time though appears to be consistent to the book and the specific page. I'm not sure if there is a variation in the way books are created in kindle, if this is specific to this book, but I can't imagine so. i've tried the apple books app which doesn't seem to have the problem though it has an annoying "action available" at the end of each page and, besides, I have most of my books on kindle now.

It's making reading very uncertain, which isn't helpful.

I just want to be able to sit down with a book and read it without any stress and the experience to be consistent. I can't get this book on BookShare, my Vario Ultra is terrible at handling books stand alone and always forgets its place. I'm looking for a clean and reliable way of reading specific books and it seems, everywhere I turn there is an issue, niggling to ruining the experience totally.

Any similar experiences? What do you use to read books in brail from your IOS device? Am I missing a trick here?

Thank you.
