I detailed the troubles I was having syncing for the past year between my Kobo apps and devices. (I don’t know how well the link below will work through Tapatalk. I’ll edit when I get home if it doesn’t.) Most Kobo eReader users seem to abhor WiFi sync, and don’t use Macs, so feedback on the issue is usually slim to nonexistent.

Mostly, I was noticing spotty sync success between the two architectures. The % Read is correct, and instantly, but the Last Page Read is never in sync. Even accounting for differences in typography settings, the last page is different for all the versions. Sometimes a highlight will sync, but not the note. Sometimes my iPhone gets all annotations right on one book, but not another, and my iPad succeeds and fails on completely different books. It didn’t used to be this way, but has been broken for the past year and longer.

Anybody else noticing this? Sometimes deleting the book from the Kobo app and redownloading it will fix sync issues, but even that is spotty. Just wondering what others’ experiences have been.

Firmware 4.35.20400
