Syncing issue

My wife and I both have a Kindle on the same account. We frequently read the same books at different times on different devices. It seems that after the first person reads the book the second person can never sync to their page. It always syncs to when the first person finished the book.

Anyway this can be avoided?

Syncing is on for both Kindles.

Thanks!!

Do you mean that one of you reads the book completely from start to finish before the other starts to read?

It looks like Kindle doesn't reset the sync (since it's syncing to the 'furthest page read' regardless if you've started the book again). That's a shame.

Best thing you can do is turn off Whispersync on your Amazon account. You would do this from your Manage Your Kindle page on your account.
