So no use in using retail ASINs / faking ASINs to a value from Kindle Store As far as sync goes...

I used to use that Wiki "trick" years ago on my Kindle Keyboard ... not sure if it ever worked when I bought my first Paperwhite (PW1) ... the only thing I recall is that Android app sync broke first... and then later I could't even sync between two Paperwhites...
Ahh, thank you for the insight. This is the trouble with digging through ancient threads, there aren't always follow-ups when things change even if something used to work...

So this is annoying, but at least I can rest now knowing it's just not possible, rather than that I was just doing something wrong that I couldn't pin down!

I mostly read on the PW to save my eyes anyway, so having page sync working would be more of a "just in case" and because I got it in my head that I HAD to figure it out... at least I now know how to get the covers to look nice.
