Wow, thanks! It worked. However, it only solved half the problem.

The "time remaining" is now correct, but Whispersync still thinks the "Furthest Page Read" is the end of the book, which means the book won't sync between devices.

I alternate between my PW2 at I'm home, and the iPhone app when I'm out, so being able to sync is important to me.

I'm not sure I understand. How does converting mobi to mobi solve the issue of the missing option to clear "Furthest Page Read"? The problem is that 'Personal Documents' only have two options (send & delete) next to them, as opposed to the six or so options on Amazon eBooks.

Does converting mobi to mobi make Amazon treat them as eBooks instead of Personal Documents? I heard there was a way to do that, but I don't remember how it was done or where I saw it.

In Calibre (for instance) you can number each book in the series and when downloaded on to your PW you'll be able to see them listed as {author, series #, title} or any other way you'd like them sorted.
Thank you, yes, I do this already. Next to books, Calibre is my best friend

My concern about sorting wasn't about the Kindle; they sort just fine there. It's my amazon library (on the website). The series was uploaded months ago, and if I delete and re-up just this volume, then book #1 will be several pages away from the rest of the series, which will bug me. I can live with it, but I was hoping I wouldn't have to.
