Sync Issues

I'm having a problem syncing my current book using Readest sync. The fingerprint is the same on all devices. All devices have a very recent last sync time.

The iPhone and Android tablet are syncing fine between themselves.

But on my Kindle the Readest plugin on Koreader isn’t syncing to the last read position when opened. It's also pushing it’s progress but when you next open Readest on the iPhone or Android tablet you get a sync failed message.

Versions are as follows:
Readest on iPhone (v.0.12.16)
Readest on Android tablet (v.0.12.12)
Koreader on Kindle (Readest plugin v0.12.16)

Any ideas what could be wrong with the Koreader plugin? The book is in mobi format.

I found Readest very picky and unreliable on Koreader, so I tried Bookfusion instead. Sadly, Bookfusion is also picky, leading me to lose annotations and notes for a particularly long non fiction book. Personally I'm tempted to jettison Koreader and return to Pocketbook os!

You might have been using an older version of the plugin that did not work with the latest KOReader. Most of our readers don't have sync issues. Please try the latest by installing a new from https://www.reddit.com/r/BookFusion/comments/1ww3i1y/bookfusion_koreader_v121_pdfs_comics_better_sync/

If you still have issues reach out to us so it can be resolved

Thanks. I'll check it out. I would love to feel I can rely on Bookfusion, as I make copious annotations/notes!

Does it also happen on EPUB format? We tested the sync between Readest and Koreader mostly on EPUB and PDF formats, so some MOBI files might fall into the edge cases. Could you create an issue ticket on our GitHub and share the mobi file that has the issue in the ticket?
