I've been syncing my non-Amazon books for a while with the above mentioned process. I updated my iPhone to 4.3.1 (I think). I tried iPhone explorer but couldn't find the correct folder. I'll have to try some of the suggestions here.

In the meantime, I tried syncing the book via iTunes and the Kindle app. This didn't work. The book sync'ed (sank?) but the 'furthest read' didn't work. I tried emailing the book to my gmail account. When opened in Google mail, it asks me if I want to open in the Kindle App. This works great, but the sync doesn't work.

The sync works fine on my Kindle 3 and PC.

It almost seems that you HAVE to download to your iPhone. Is this everyone elses experience?
