Question How to sync between koreader and kobo?
is there any way to sync progress and last read page between koreader and kobo using calibre? I have Koreader Sync (0.6.8) and Kobo Utilities (2.21.1) and can't figure out any way for them to cross sync.

Simple answer is no. No standards exist for recording reading positions.

Non simple solution would be to reverse engineer both reading positions implementations and then develop your own code to convert between them.

Actually, there is. Take a note of where you are in your book. Then search or go to the chapter.

I've used search to locate my spot on an ebook and going to the chapter and then visually searching in the pbook when switching between a ebook and pbook of a text book. The ePub (and Kindle) version of the ebook had a lousy layout but you could copy/paste the code examples while the pbook had a good layout but you got the joy of typing the code examples by hand with the usual typos creeping in including indentation errors. The embedded from the pbook page numbers didn't help that much since the ToC links were a pain to use and took about 25 pages at 17 links per page on my Sage.

Sadly it seems that the epubcfi standard is not going to be in common use by renderers. I tend to suspect that this is since switching to epubcfi would require switching away from a proprietary location technique.
