The reading status should sync quickly. It should upload to the server when you do something such as close the book or put the device to sleep. For downloading, it should do this when you open a book or wake the device. My experience is that, as long as I have a good network connection, this works. I have frequently tested this by paging through a book on one device/app, closing the book, picking up another device and opening the book there. After a few seconds it prompts me with a message that the book had been read on another device/app and if I want to go to that location. Checking now, the reading location synced from my phone to an ereader in less that 30 seconds from the time I put the phone down.

I regret to inform you that page location is generally all that syncs between iOS apps and the reader. I find bookmarks, highlights, and notes sync might sync once when the book is first opened in the iOS app, then never again. It's as if they are on two different databases. I haven't found a solution for it yet. I'd rather annotate on my iOS device. It's so much easier. Kindle has one over on Kobo on this particular feature. It's a shame.

The state of annotations syncing is a bit different. It should happen, but, it doesn't happen immediately. There is a delay. I think it is somewhere between 6 and 12 hours. That's based on Kobo telling me that they had reduced it below 24 hours and then when I tested, annotations that I added in the Android app at night, weren't on the device when I went to bed, but were there when I checked after lunch the next day.
