How Do I Sync Progress Between Kindle Book Reader Online And App?
Kindle's Whispersync is supposed to update your reading location automatically, but mine's stuck. Are highlights and notes synced too between the cloud and mobile app?

It's not just about the app being open. The app needs to have permission to run in the background and use mobile data. Check your phone's app permissions for the Kindle app, especially if you're on iOS. Allow background app refresh and cellular data.

I've found that disabling battery optimization for the Kindle app on Android helps. Sometimes aggressive battery savers kill the app's background processes before it can upload your reading progress. Go into your phone's settings, find the Kindle app under battery settings, and set it to 'Unrestricted'.

If you read a book on a device that's completely offline for days, then reconnect, it will sync that progress up to the cloud when it gets a connection. But it might cause a conflict if you also read on another online device in the meantime. The 'last write wins' rule applies.

The web reader can be quirky with browser cookies. If you're having persistent issues, try clearing your browser cache for the Amazon site or try a different browser. Sometimes logging out and back in on the web can re-establish a clean sync connection.

"Open the door," he shouted at my face, "Don't make me get physical with you, Octavia," he warned me angrily.
"No! You have to see your daughter's face," I was holding our days-old daughters and requesting him to take a look at her beautiful face and change his mind.
"This is not my daughter and you are not my God damn mate," he shouted as he pulled his nose up in disgust.
"Silas! How can you not look at her face and not know she is your daughter? How can you reject me and accept my sister?" I was sobbing and begging for him to hold his daughter.
"Because she is my mate and you are just someone with a rouge's blood in your system," every word he said towards me and his daughter was going to be engraved on the walls of my heart forever.
"If you walked out of this door and got engaged to my sister today, you will never see my or my daughter's face ever again," I warned him in tears.
"Good! I would love to never see you two again," he didn't care and pushed me out of his way.

The sync is brilliant for series reading. I finish a book on my Kindle, and when I buy the next one in the series on my phone, the app often opens right to the first page without any fuss. It feels like turning a page in one giant book rather than switching between separate files.
syncing listening progress is something I do daily. The Kindle app makes it pretty seamless as long as you have Whispersync enabled. Just make sure your device is connected to the internet, and your progress will automatically sync across all devices signed into the same Amazon account.
If you're listening to an audiobook paired with an eBook, the app will even sync your position between the two formats. I love this feature because I can switch from reading to listening without losing my place. Sometimes, if the sync doesn’t happen immediately, manually opening the book on another device or refreshing the library can help. Also, check your settings to ensure 'Whispersync for Books' is turned on—it’s usually under 'Device Options' or 'Reading Options.'
You know, I read so much across different devices that I’ve stopped thinking of a ‘main’ reading device. My ‘Kindle’ is now this abstract, always-available thing that exists wherever I am. The sync is the glue that holds that concept together. Without it, I’d be anchored to one piece of hardware. With it, my book is just… there. It’s liberating.
The psychological trick is to not rely on it exclusively. I always use the Kindle's bookmark feature as a backup. That way, if the cloud sync fails, I have a physical (well, digital) marker I can fall back to. It takes the stress out of the equation. I sync, but I also bookmark out of habit. It's a belt-and-suspenders approach to digital reading. The bookmark is device-specific, so it won't follow me to my phone, but it guarantees I can always get back to where I know I was on this specific device. It's a low-tech solution to a high-tech problem, and it brings me immense peace of mind.
Nook used to be okay at this, but honestly, I haven't trusted it in years. The last time I tried, the sync between my Nook tablet and the phone app was laggy and sometimes just wrong. I think Barnes & Noble has let the infrastructure languish while they focus on other things.
I wouldn't recommend it as a primary platform for seamless cross-device reading anymore.
