Hi all,
I have a Calibre server setup on my home PC. I thought this might be safer because if I email the book to my Kindle(s) from Calibre, using my free kindle email address associated with each kindle, it also gets stored on Amazon's server for "syncing" - If I send a book with DRM removed, I'm thinking I might be in violation ... correct me if I'm wrong.

But the problem is this: When I login to the server page with my kindle HDX for example, and download a book, it downloads nicely (no cover though), but it does NOT remember where I left off reading. Every time I open the book, it opens on the first page or table of contents. I'm guessing this is a well documented easily solveable problem (that I probably created somehow!)

Any thoughts are very appreciated.
