Mobi to Kindle/Iphone App - Last page read sync.

Hi there,

I've been reading advice on this forum about getting .mobi's to be able to sync last page read between iphones and kindles. However i appear to have run into a small problem.

So far what i have done is taken a mobi file and imported it to calibre and "converted" it to a new mobi. This produces a folder with the mobi an metadata.opf file and the cover picture.

Now i have uploaded the folder once to my kindle and once to my iphone kindle app (via iphone explorer (jailbroken)) Meaning both have the mobi and the metadata.opf file on.

If i commence reading on my iphone everything works great. I can switch off the phone then go to the kindle and it finds the last page read from my iphone and lets me read from there. However when i try reopening the kindle app on the phone. It always syncs back to page 1! It does this whether i have been reading on the kindle or whether i have just reopened the app at a later date. Which really isn't much use at all.

Is there something i'm doing wrong here? Everything works one way but doesnt from the other.

Just to summarise:- I use Calibre 0.7.48. Convert a mobi then transfer the metadata.opf and mobi files to my kindle and iphone app. The kindle syncs to last page read however the iphone always resets to page one everytime i open the book

If anyone could shed some light on where i'm going wrong it would be much appreciated!

Thanks!
