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?
I have the latest update on my iphone and am able to sync fine. I use DiskAid. Couldn't get the others to work. If you use DiskAid, make sure to set the 'preferences\advanced' to 'show root path of apps'. Load books into the 'library\ebooks' folder. Works fine.

One thing I have discovered is after I am done reading, I have to hit the 'home' button on my kindle for it to sync to the furthest page.
