Hello.
I am french, and noone respond to my question in french section of Koreader forum. So I write in this section now...
I have just experienced Koreader, and I am absolutely delighted. I will not return to the original system of my Kobo. The programmers did a wonderful job.
I seem to have understood everything, even the recovery of books in the "cloud" on my Dropbox server..
But I still catch on one last point: how to synchronize the e-readers between them (I have two e-readers, and I installed Koreader on my "Galxy S8 plus" and my tablet "Tab S3"). This ability to synchronize the progress of the book in reading court pushed me to adopt Koreader. And the problem is this:
I can not connect to Koreader's server: "UNKNOWN SERVER ERROR"
If the server is not reachable, I see that there is in the menu a "Custom synchronization server" option, but I do not know how to use it ...
Would anyone be kind enough to give me detailed instructions on this subject? or at least confirm that the server is not working and that I am not a fool? Or that anyway, in the current state, the synchronization can not finish? I searched for specific answers to these questions and I did not find them. Or they were not detailed enough ...
If I get the solution, I get drunk and shout "victory" and I'm the happiest 71-year-old in the world.
A very big thank you in advance for a detailed answer or an interesting and exhaustive reference.

cordially
