Another possibility is the time on the two devices. If these were different, or the timezone was different, it could cause the problems with the syncing. When a sync happens, the status from the most recent action is taken. Differences in times on the devices could explain the weirdness of the Kobo Plus book.
Today the download thing with the subscription book happened again. The positions in two sideloaded books seem to have been remembered. I could give the repair a try. That just means signing out and signing back in on the device, correct?
