Hi!

I am feeling cheated: everywhere I read, including the instructions manual of my Kobo Aura HD, it says that annotations, including bookmarks, notes and highlights, are supposed to sync accross devices for any book purchased through the Kobo store.

I am currently using a Kobo Aura HD, the Mac Desktop app, and the iOS app of an iPhone 5s and iPhone 6 Plus. The sync seems to be working between the two iPhones, but not between the other devices.

I have even tried syncing the Kobo Aura HD to the desktop app vi usb, but annotations still don't sync.

I contacted Kobo support, and was told that annotations sync was not a feature of the new Kobo firmware. Somehow I doubt this to be true.

So the question is: is sync supposed to be multiplatform feature, or was I misled? This is a huge issue for me, and makes me want to switch to Kindle as soon as a larger screen device is available.

Thanks for the help guys!
