Between iOS and my Kobo is in particular the worst for this. I no longer read non fiction on the go on iOS for this reason. Only novels.
Kobo has told me that there are some delays built into annotation sync. At one time there was a 12 hour delay for annotations between the ereaders and the apps. I'm not sure why except maybe to handle issues with clock accuracy. I think they were reducing this, but, I don't know if they have, or what it was reduced to.

From my testing, for the first annotation added to a book, it seems to syncs to the other devices/apps quickly. And it might be that if you only add annotations in one place, they go to the others quickly. But, once you start adding annotations to a book in the other devices or apps, the syncing isn't as quick. I think this is when the time delay is used.
