As for the page synching, I really don't understand why people don't use the mobi2mobi GUI method I linked to earlier in the thread - which works rock solid every time - instead of trying to do it through Calibre - which seems to be where the problems are being created / seen.

The biggest problem with doing it through Calibre is that, to my knowledge, you don't have access to the raw EXTH data to see that the values are actually properly set. So you're sitting there blind having to experiment opening the book here and there and paging around on different devices to make sure it was done correctly.

Mobi2Mobi GUI you do it, you see the results in the raw data, and you're done.

Calibre is a great program and very powerful, but for this specific task, going into a separate program and making two little tweaks turns out to be easier in the long run.
So, you're saying use the books that are in the Calibre library folder (with the DRM removed). Run the scripts. Are the original files overwritten or will their be two files now? Do the files need to be re-added to the Calibre libary? Does the original metadata remain in tact after running the scripts? There's a lot of unknowns for me to proceed.
