I read mostly on my phone these days but when I was reading mostly on my Kindle and sometimes on my phone, in the days before the Kindle app would scroll, I began using Moon+ reader on my phone and learned to sync using search. As I began using my phone more and more I stopped doing that.
I found that it was faster than the Kindle or the Kindle app can sync. I would remember a short phrase near the top of my current page. For example on my current book I might pick "Every year, I". I just taught myself to remember something like that every time. When I type it into text search it'll often find 2 or 3 occurrences but it gives enough context that I always know which is the right one and I'm synced.
That's generally 2 or 3 times faster than letting the Kindle or the Kindle app on my phone do it for me. It does require some effort and thought and it's a bit more distracting but with a little practice it became second nature.
Now I read on two phones most of the time using Moon+; my regular phone and a cheap one I bought just for reading around the house so I won't kill my regular phone's battery. Moon+ syncs faster than the Kindle and even faster than my manual method so now I have the best of both worlds.
I'm not sure this would help once you mix in an audiobook but who knows!
