Hi,
Probably just missing something, but is there a trick to getting this to work? I'm running Calibre 0.7.48. When I convert a book to mobi (say, from epub) and then sideload to my Kindle 3 via Calibre and add to my ipod via itunes, syncing to the furthest read page doesn't work. When I look at the apnx file on my kindle using a text editor, I see that cdetype is set to EBOK, but it looks like the ASIN is blank. Am I missing a step? Or, do I have to configure something differently? Thanks! |

Perfect, thanks. It's too bad there's no way to do this natively in linux, but using Diskaid to load the books on to my ipod allowed the page sync'ing to work great.

Is there any way of setting asin and cdetype in bulk? I know I could use calibre to convert from mobi to mobi but I tried it on one book and it actually changed the formatting of the book as well (not for the better!). I would like to just be able to change those fields on all my mobi's.
Thanks |

Somebody had a batch file (and a python script) that used mobi2mobi to do bulk modifications. I'll see if I can't track it down.
EDIT: Here's the thread where the bulk scripts were being discussed. Last edited by DiapDealer; 03-13-2011 at 07:33 AM. |

Is anyones whispersync for sideloaded books still working?
I've been mainly using Kindle for iPhone recently. But today I opened up my Kindle and tried to sync but found it no longer works. Went to check on my iPhone and that no longer works now! It just says im on the furthest page wherever I am. I'm sure it was working just yesterday. Amazon caught on? EDIT: ok after restarting Kindle on iPhone it works again. But if I sync it from the Kindle it breaks it for both. Last edited by neonbible; 04-19-2011 at 02:14 PM. |

When I am done reading on my Kindle, I turn on WiFi (I don't keep it on all the time). After it connects, I hit the 'home' button. Then I turn off WiFi. When I open the book in the Kindle App on my iPhone, sometimes I have to hit the sync button on the lower right corner to sync to the furthest page. When done reading on my iPhone, I go back to the 'home' screen again. Carol |

Seems to work ok between Kindle iPhone and PC desktop, but not the actual Kindle device. Have there been any updates recently?

Not sure if this is relevant but I know that iPhone OS 4.2.7 was just released and if you upgrading maybe that is causing issues? Just a guess. I have jailbroken my iPhone although from comments I read earlier that is not necessary to get the synch to work. I did it for other reasons.
Given there is no jailbreak for 4.2.7, I have not upgraded my OS at this time. Synching between Kindle and iPhone is still working for me with no problems. |
