This past Christmas, I was given one of each.

I invariably use my Kobo more- e-ink is just so much nicer to look at- but the Literati gets pretty steady use at bedtime, as the bf likes lights out right away but I like to read a bit then doze off. The backlit "night reading" mode means I can do that without disturbing him.

Since both readers are tied to my Kobo account, I can "update library" on my Kobo reader, then do the same on my Literati, and pick up where I left off.

Now, here's where the weird part comes in.
When I finish a book on either reader, next time I sync the Literati it shows in the "I'm Reading" menu as being 1% read. They won't close. I've even tried paging through to the end on the Literati (and it doesn't have the GOTO feature that was recently added to my Kobo, so it's a pain in the buttocks) and "finishing" the book, but it just comes back with 1% read every time i sync.

Now I'm also finding that the book I purchased yesterday, while it downloaded to the Literati without any trouble, didn't transfer the bookmarks. I had to skip chapters and then page through to get to my spot. When I updated both readers again, it didn't move them in my Kobo to pick up where I'd left off, either.

Has anyone else got both these readers, or has anyone else discovered bookmark communication problems between the Kobo reader and any of the smartphone apps?

<begin small rant>
(And when is the mythical firmware upgrade for my Literati that'll actually allow it to sync with the desktop gonna happen? I've been syncing with wifi since December, and kind of sick of it. I think Kobo support has completely forgotten about people who bought Kobo-powered readers other than the Kobo-branded reader itself.)
