Kindle 4 Syncing question

Robmonster · 04-23-2012, 12:34 PM

Evening all,

I have a question about how the Kindle 4 NT handles syncing.

I spend most of my time with the wifi off, unless I know I am expecting a new document in my Personal Documents. I also jump around my reading list quite a lot.

so, when I turn the wifi on does the Kindle sync my last read position across /all/ my books, or just books I read/open with the wifi on?

I'm hoping I don;t have t open each book in turn to make sure it's position is synced, I'd far prefer to know that the Kindleis doing that behind the scenes for all my books when it sees that Wifi is enabled.

Does anyone know?

Rob

Syncing only occurs when you actually open a book, so that's the point at which you need to have the WiFi on.

But, just to be clear, if you've opened multiple books since the last sync, they will all sync.

Perfect, just what I wanted to know, thank you.
