![]() ![]() Hello, this post about the state of syncing on the Kobo app between the e-reader and other android or iOS device - is it referring only to Ebola purchased through Kobo or side loaded books as well? I like to read on Kobo at home and iPhone on subway. That's based on Kobo telling me that they had reduced it below 24 hours and then when I tested, annotations that I added in the Android app at night, weren't on the device when I went to bed, but were there when I checked after lunch the next day. I think it is somewhere between 6 and 12 hours. ![]() It should happen, but, it doesn't happen immediately. ![]() The state of annotations syncing is a bit different. Checking now, the reading location synced from my phone to an ereader in less that 30 seconds from the time I put the phone down. After a few seconds it prompts me with a message that the book had been read on another device/app and if I want to go to that location. I have frequently tested this by paging through a book on one device/app, closing the book, picking up another device and opening the book there. My experience is that, as long as I have a good network connection, this works. For downloading, it should do this when you open a book or wake the device. It should upload to the server when you do something such as close the book or put the device to sleep. There must be a way for Koreader or some other onboard reader to smuggle out page position to somewhere that an iOS reader can grab it and vice versa? There are a large number of other epub readers available for iOS, I'm happy to use anything that does the job. I tried sideloading epub files to the Kobo iOS app, and it opens them but won't sync reading position. I guess using the iOS Kobo app is a non-starter. I can't seem to see any way of doing this. I've set up calibre-web for my calibre install, am just about to install KOReader and am looking through the various kobo hacks. I've searched the forums for guidance but not been able to find anything definitive. Often I have my phone with me but not my Kobo, and it would be nice to be able to do some reading on the phone, then continue later on the Kobo from where I left off on the phone. I like my Kobo Aura One, but one thing I miss from Kindle is the ability to sync reading position between the Kobo and an iOS app. ![]()
