Brianrh,
Yes, I think there is a bit of confusion here about what we mean by syncing. In my case I want last-page-read syncing between devices, which includes as part of it getting the books delivered to the different platforms.
I too have switched to google books for non-Amazon books. The kindle
apps/programs are all much nicer than the google books versions but at least google books mostly works to sync last page read. Figuring out how to get it to download the whole book to my Kindle so that I could read it offline was kind of tricky and I do it infrequently enough that I have to take the time to figure it out again every time.
On my kindle fire I grabbed one of the 'sync settings' apps on the market to be able to get to the account sync settings. I make sure to sync google books (toggle it off and on) before and after reading. I had not noticed an exit button on the web reader. Wish there was just a 'sync' button for the control freaks among us.
