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.
May I ask why you are not just using calibre portable which is specially designed to store all its setting in its folder including bookmarks etc. And would do exactly what you want instead of finding all these workarounds. For me calibre portable works even works on linux mint using wine.
