I got very confused with moon+ reader, CC, and Moon+ backup to dropbox interactions recently.

leaving aside the dropbox backup one, which was probably a red herring, is it that case that:

a book opened via READ in CC will go to the last page read when the book was accessed via that route

but the same book opened by opening moon+ reader then tapping the book on the shelf will go to the last page read via that route

i.e. there are two versions of "last page read", one held by CC, and one held by moon, and there is no auto sync between the two ?.

when I close a book that was opened for reading in CC, I am returned to the CC shelf, not to the moon reader shelf, so I guess moon reader does not record that activity?

( there's also the "last page read" which moon sends to its dropbox backup for syncing across devices , but on a single device it should not need to restore from there - also, I suspected dropbox sync and not CC at first, so I disabled the former)

i was finding myself re-reading chapters that I'd already read, but I think its because of flipping between the two ways to open a book outlined above.

can you confirm please and also explain how/ where CC keeps it's last page read records - thanks.

it this is all "by design" can you point me at any relevant older discussion of the pros/ cons/ alternatives please

I suspect bookari/mantano as the same "double bookmark" issue

and I also supsect, but ran out of testing patience, that the first time a book is opened via CC. it will go to the last page read in moon reader, if CC has no last page record of it's own to refer to ?
