the epub itself is identical, but something internal to how the book is imported to moon makes it think they're 2 different versions

super frustrating
I struggled with this for a long time. The file names have to be identical for syncing reading positions. I use Dropbox for syncing and Moon+ and it puts a. po file in apps/books/.moon+/cache. If the file names don't match exactly it thinks it's a different book and it won't sync.

There are apparently other things that cause syncing not to work. As I was writing this up, I tried it to make sure that it worked and it didn't work. The way I fixed it was to wipe data and then it worked again. It was very weird - my phone recognized there was a file in Dropbox to sync to, but it wouldn't write its own sync file. This might be due to the way I sometimes put apps on devices - I restore app + data from other devices.
