Newer versions of Calibre will fix the metadata automatically and if Calibre adds the metadata, you’re golden. For sync to work properly the “Ids” field should read something like “isbn:0575096861, amazon:0575096861, google:6APPQgAACAAJ.” Click on “Download Metadata” and cross your fingers. You can check this in Calibre (right click the book, “edit metadata”, “edit metadata individually”). If your book doesn’t show up in Personal Document or refuses to sync, your book is probably missing the Amazon ASIN #. If the book doesn’t popup to sync, you can force a sync by going to settings, more, sync.

If the book isn’t showing, check the “Archives” section of the Amazon Kindle app to download it. You’ll see a popup prompting you with the last page read if you’ve been reading this book on another device. On your Android/iPhone fire up the Amazon Kindle app and open the book. Next to each book in your Personal Documents click “Actions”, “Deliver to” and select you Android/iPhone. If your book shows up (at the top of the list), you’re golden. Wait a minute and go to Personal Documents ( The Send to Kindle plugin for Windows works too. You can also send the book directly to your Android/iPhone using the 2nd email address you get when you install the app on you device. On your Kindle, remove the book (be sure you have a copy on your computer)Įmail the book to your address (I do this from inside Calibre). Syncing Personal Documents to Android/iPhone/other Kindles

Kindle for PC requires you to manually transfer (aka sideload) the book to each of your devices: Android, iPhone, Kindle or PC. From “Personal Documents” you can distribute any properly formatted book to your Kindle/Android/iPhone/iPad devices, but not Kindle for PC. The simplest way to get “last page read” to sync any device except PCs is to use your Personal Documents ( at Amazon. The problem is usually bad/missing metadata or using WhisperSync rather than manually loading. Amazon does a good job on automatically syncing content purchased from the Amazon store, but stuff from other sources sometimes won’t sync the “last page read” properly.
