I currently have a lot of DRM free ebooks that I want to load onto all of my devices and use full syncing. The books started in epub format but I used Calibre to convert them to mobi. None of them were purchased on the Amazon store.

I have the Kindle for PC app on my Windows 8 PC as well as the Kindle Metro app. I also have a full Windows 8 tablet (not RT) and a Kindle Paperwhite on order, plus my Android phone.

I know if you purchase a book off the Amazon store, it will sync and load onto all your devices and remember your last page, etc. But I am having a real hard time figuring out how to do this with non-Amazon books. I can get them to load on my phone if I send them to my @kindle email, but they won't populate over to the PC/Metro apps. I can open a mobi file in the Kindle for PC app but it will not populate over to the other devices.

When I get my Paperwhite I know I can load them with USB, but I don't know if my last page will then sync over to the PC and Android apps.

Is there a way to force this? I've been googling answers to this for hours with no real luck.
