Kindle Touch & DX Whispersynch one way issue

Zimmy · 07-12-2012, 10:03 AM

I currently own a Kindle DX and a Touch w/SO.

Using personal document books, I can only seem to get the books to synch one way. (DX -> Touch)

If I read 10 pages on the DX, then go to my Touch, it says, "want to go to the furthest page read on the DX?".

But if I pick it up on the Touch and read 10 or so pages, the DX ignores the progress.

Am I doing something wrong?

"Synch to furthest" is always greyed on the DX.
I have selected "synch and check for items" on the DX.

It's a pain because I like to use both in tandem.

Are you sure the Touch is syncing before you try opening the file on the DX?

I tested that even though it shouldn't be necessary.
I'm pretty sure the Kindle sends that information to the mother ship as soon as you leave the book when you press home (maybe even sooner).

The DX blissfully ignores any progress made by the Touch.

I'd suggest asking for help from Kindle CS. It's possible that something's being blocked on Amazon's servers.

Zimmy, did you ever find anything further on this? I'm having the same problem. WhisperSync is working fine between my Kindle 3G Keyboard, Kindle PaperWhite and iPad. I see the same behavior as you when using a Kindle DX.

My Kindle DX is also not syncing with the Kindle Fire. Very frustrating.....

Aren't you suppose to sync on the Kindle you finished reading (in my case the DX) then sync on the Kindle Fire to get the sync update? Mine also asks "want to go to the furthest page read on the DX?" But it also says you are there, but it doesn't update!!!
