Hello,

I just wanted to provide an update to this thread regarding my experience. In particular, using annotations with overdrive.

I was testing with a book that I had taken out several times from my local library via overdrive. I wanted to see if the annotations would sync between Kobo and ios devices, but also to see if the annotations would remain synced on the second or third rental from the library.

I understood from others' reports, and from my own experience, that although syncing may experience some severe lag between devices, over time the device s appear to catchup up to each other (as reported by @davidfor above).

My experience is very odd and inconsistent. On my first rental, I found that the annotations were not syncing between my devices reliably. I had to return the book to overdrive before I could confirm that things synced up. On my second rental a month later, it seemed that *all* the old annotations from both devices were now synced on my ios device. But on the Kobo (where most of the annotations were made) only the first chapters' annotations were present. After 21 days, the devices did not sync up at all.

I have the book on hold for a third rental, available any day now. I am curious to see what happens.

But TLDR is that Overdrive syncing is not as reliable as previously thought. These syncing problems are a real disappointment. I do not want to go to Amazon/Kindle but it really seems they have this stuff sorted out better. Even if I can't rent books from the library with Kindle in Canada.
