My plain old .mobi file synched to last page read?!?
I have a kindle 2 with a "bought from Amazon" version of an ebook called "The Devil To Pay".

I took that file, stripped the DRM, and have a plain .mobi version of it.

I loaded the .mobi file onto my Kindle using calibre. I can see it when I browse the directory when the kindle 3 is connected to my PC by USB, the file is called "Devil to Pay, The - Michele Hauf.mobi"

When I open this ebook on the Kindle 3, I have the option to sync to the last page read. It worked when I first loaded it into the Kindle 3, it synched about a 1/3 of the way in which is where I'd left off in the Kindle 2.

Has anyone else been able to sync .mobi files? Does it maybe only work with mobi files where the DRM was removed from an Amazon kindle-store-bought copy?
