While the current page and the bookmarks are stored in the epub, they're also stored in iterator.pickle in ...users/{username}/appdata/roaming/calibre/. They are taken from the local location preferentially.
I copied the data from that folder to a folder in the cloud where both PC's could see it and then created an environmental variable CALIBRE_CONFIG_DIRECTORY on both machines pointing there. After reboots (and multiple episodes of correcting poor spelling) it seems to be working.
Fingers crossed.
Thanks again to those who helped me here. |
I do hope you have backups of your library completely on another system. I admit to being old fashioned and I will usually "rar" a static backup in order to be sure the books are not modified by someone accidentally switching to the backup library or a virus or program hitting the library. With a rar sitting on a usb drive it is very unlikely to happen.
One thing I do suggest is to keep your library name/ name plus path name on the long side when creating a new library. That will help to ensure that if you have to move or restore your library to a new location you will not be truncating the file names.
