Goodreads and Kindle sync working together?

Herjar · 05-10-2015, 05:09 PM

I've been trying to get this working for a long time now. Maybe you guys have some ideas.

I want my reading position to be synced to Android and vice versa.
I want to be able to use the goodreads function on the Kindle.

The sync works fine if I send the book by mail to amazon (read up about the "both" mobi function too so I can use KF8)
I managed to get the goodreads function to work (with the quality check plugin) when loading books by usb.

I cannot get them to work together though. If I just send by USB it will abviously not sync as there needs to be a book on amazon's server. But also if I send the book by mail the goodreads function stops working for some reason. It only works when I send by usb.

Anyone have some tips? Is it even possible to get it to work?

Amazon doesn't want it to work. They would much rather Goodreads integration be a bonus for people who purchased the book from them.

So it's impossible?

I believe so.
