Whispersync only works with books purchased from Amazon -- even for the Kindles. Amazon does not backup your books which came from somewhere else and therefore is not enabled to synchronize the "highest page read" across multiple devices.
For newspaper subscriptions purchased from Amazon, there is currently a restriction that the paper can be read on only one device. You can transfer the subscription from one device to another and the next issue will go to the second device, but not to the first one.
For newspaper subscriptions via RSS feeds (from Feedbooks or using Calibre), these are just like the books obtained from somewhere other than Amazon.
So, while the app for iPhone doesn't do what you would want, it is essentially equivalent to the support provided from Amazon's own device.
