Sorry, but only the "Furthest Page Read" synchronization between devices seems to work.
Well, I would agree with you on the Has to be in the Archive but I have seen it otherwise. I was given a book in mobi format from someone and used calibre to put it on my kindle and the book descriptions and cover images worked. I did not have the book in my archives on amazon. So there has to be something embedded in the meta-data or something.
