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.
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.

Hello, this post about the state of syncing on the Kobo app between the e-reader and other android or iOS device - is it referring only to Ebola purchased through Kobo or side loaded books as well? I like to read on Kobo at home and iPhone on subway. Will the Kobo app sync side loaded books between devices? Thanks for all your contributions.
