I live in the USA and I sync between my Kindle and my phone with it's Kindle app every day. I've been doing that for a few years.
On my recent Kindles, the Voyage and the new Paperwhite, this is almost always an effortless procedure. I stop reading on one device and begin where I left off on the other device. I say "almost" because sometimes I'll not sync and it won't automatically sync so I have to do that manually. Most of the time it does it without my telling it to.
On my older Kindles, the 1st and 2ng gen Paperwhites, I have to be sure to sync at the end of a reading session and then be sure to sync before I begin reading on the next device. And in both devices this syncing should be done from the home screen. That always works. Leaving out any part of that procedure works a lot of the time but not always.
I have no idea about syncing anywhere except in the USA. It may or may not be the same there.
By the way I do sometimes get books from Gutenberg and send them to my library via email and they sync just fine.
I'm not sure if this will be useful information to you but I'll throw it in anyway. Lately I've been experimenting with reading on my phone. Actually my old phone and my new one, using on while the other is charging. I'm reading mostly with Moon+ reader and using it's built-in syncing via Dropbox. This works even better than the Kindle syncing. It's faster and it almost never fails and I don't have to remember to do anything. I just read.
