I've tried the following
1. Add .mobi book into Calibre version 0.8.21
2. Download metadata and I see it filled in lots of good information including several entries in the Ids: field. I see an isbn: and a google: with numbers. I assume that one of these will be used as the ASIN although I can't seem to find information on the web to confirm - I get contradicting results so not sure who to believe.
3. Convert mobi to mobi to ensure the new meta information is written out in the new mobi file(s)
4. Add the new mobi files to dropbox which is also my kindle PC home folder
5. Open kindle on my PC and it sees the converted book
6. Open dropbox on my iPhone and I see the book and tell the dropbox application to open this in the kindle app
7. Opens nicely but no bookmark, highlight sharing or page syncing between the iphone and the PC on this book.

Did I miss something? I've spent time looking for a definitive guide on how to do this on google but I've gathered hints here and there to put together the above procedure but doesn't seem to work so I'm missing something.....
