works fine but I manually have to put the book onto both devices
maybe I missed an option though - I will re check next time I am using it. I would not want the book sent back to dropbox as i'ts already there in a copy of my calibre library!

If my understanding is correct, the bookmark feature is implemented too simply. I believe a page number is stored in DropBox in the file. If you try to read the same book on a large laptop or desktop machine and tablets/phones the pages will be all different sizes. A better approach would be how many characters into the file. Then each platform could do the math to figure which page to display.
I started reading a book on my 17" Laptop PC and trying to continue reading on my 7" tablet was a chore in hitting the next page button until I recognized my place in the story. Seems like it shouldn't be that difficult once the reader opens the book to seek in the file someplace at least close to where the reader left off.
