I can sync my Kindle Voyage with the Kindle app on my phone and I sometimes do. I can also sync Moon+, my preferred reader on my phone, with other Android devices, which I sometimes do. Both work very well. The problem is I can't sync the Kindle with Moon+ on the phone and those are the two things I read on. Mostly on my Kindle but on the phone when I'm somewhere else and have a few minutes to read.
For a while I tried to come up with solutions to that but little by little I realized the simple solution is to just do it manually. When I stop on one device I remember a chapter number or some simple phrase from the top of the page I'm reading. When I go to the next device I either can manually go to that chapter or search for that phrase. It rarely takes more than 20 or 30 seconds to find my place. The key is to make myself remember that phrase or chapter number.
Phrases, for me at least, should be fairly short and unambiguous and should contain no punctuation since that's what I get wrong most often. Usually 2 or 3 words will do it if I pick words I don't see together all over the page. I wouldn't use "and then the". I might use "and flies home", a phrase from the top of the page on my current book. A search probably won't bring that up more than 1 or two times and I'll easily decide which is the one I'm looking for since they both give enough context.
In fact I'm finding that manual syncing, as long as I can remember a phrase like that, is as fast or faster than automatic syncing. It's more work but it doesn't take any longer.
