I read mostly on my Voyage and a lot on my phone using Moon+ and that means that for the most part Whispersync doesn't work for me anyway. I've been just manually syncing most of the time and the more I do it the easier it gets. In fact when I first started doing it it was fairly easy. Now it's almost trivial.
Whispersync is a very nice feature when you can use it but it locks you in and becomes a bad habit if you let it.
When I end a reading session I make it a point to remember some short phrase on the page I'm on, usually near the top. It can be almost anything. Then if I switch devices I do a text search for that phrase. Usually there'll be 2 or 3 occurrences and each is shown with enough context I can go right to it. It's as simple as that. On my current page on my current book I'd search on "Luis was angry". There was only one occurance in this case. I just did it. Every now and then there'll be 6 or 7 instances of that phrase and a glance always takes me to the right one.
Most of the time that entire process is faster than waiting on Whispersync. It takes more effort and more thought but not more time.
Also, I try to stretch my sessions to the end of the chapter and then all I have to remember is the chapter number.
Last night I read on my Fire phone and my Voyage and they do sync nicely but I found myself searching instead of waiting. It's just a habit now.
