That syncing feeling

Pollik · 06-21-2011, 06:49 AM

As far as I can work out, the sync feature in Kindle only works if you bought the ebook from Amazon.

A chunk of my reading is PDF (and I agree that Kindle handles them badly)and MOBI and it would be good to sync across laptop, kindle hardware and android on my phone.

I couldn't see anything among the plug ins that might work.

I am guessing that there is a solution, but that I just haven't found it...

PDF's... you're just plain out of luck. But you can sync the Furthest Read Page of non-Amazon mobi's (but not notes, highlights, or bookmarks) fairly easily.

Check these various threads for details:

P.S. at one point, mobi2mobi was the only tool you could use to achieve this, but calibre is capable of doing it a lot more easily, so read the various threads for WHAT needs to be modified in the mobi's, but focus on the calibre sections for the HOW.
