Well, it acts the same way on Dropbox. I add a bookmark or change the page on machine A and then close the book and Calibre. I immediately see the changed update time on that box and in a second or two I see it on machine B. I open it on B and neither the updated page nor the bookmark are there. It works the same in both directions.

I tried pausing the sync in Dropbox before touching anything but to no avail.

Then I did another test. I pointed Calibre on machine A back to my library on OneDrive and made a change (bookmark). I then copied that folder into the library on Dropbox replacing that folder there and switched Calibre to point back to the Dropbox library. The new bookmark did not come with it. It's got to be stored somewhere else.

I give up. Spent too much time on this already. Sigh.

Thanks again to all who gave advice.
