If this is the case, the automatic job to fetch the reading positions won't be started.
So, for instance, if your main reader gets sent in for repair, and you dust off your previous device that has synced with this Calibre library before, but has since been factory reset, and you copy over the couple books you are are currently reading while assuming the profile is correct, and this all happens coincidentally when a new firmware is shipped and there is talk of compatibility problems, so you conclude it's the device driver, and start bothering the wrong developer?

Thank you for your assistance, the bookmark is sync-ing properly now, and automatically.
