That we can't help you with since we have our own issues to deal with!

May be I can help you there. Our library loans ebooks in both Kindle format and in epub format for use with the free Overdrive app.

Mine isn't syncing "last page" and not all books on my Kindle appear in the iPad's kindle app - some do and some don't. I could understand, in theory, if none appeared but I'm puzzling over why it is some and not all that do not - what am I doing wrong?
Is there a setting I've overlooked or is there possibly some corruption which would necessitate a delete and reinstall on the iPad?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
how many Kindle devices and apps are active on your account at this time? I'm asking because many Kindle books cannot be downloaded to more than 4 devices and/or apps at one time.
Sometimes, an update to the Kindle app messes up the sync (and I don't know why). If I may suggest, try deleting the Kindle app. Then, after re-registering the app with Amazon, see if that fixes the sync issue.
Good luck and let us know how you get on.

Thanks for the replies.
I have only three registered devices - a Kindle, the iPad and an iMac which, to be frank, I never use to read books so it could easily be deregistered if needs must.
I'll delete the iPad app over the weekend as I am a tad busy right now and will be off-line for longish periods.
I shall, though, report back when I have done the deed - probably on Sunday or Monday.

Do you have both Cloud and Device shown at bottom? i have a bunch of devices listed (i need to delete two.Ipad ones and a Touch) but generally just use my Air, my husband's 3 and they sync with our iPhones. If I "buy" a book to go to David's 3 it will be in the Cloud for me until I download it by touching the book and it will download to MY device. Sometimes i have to manually ask for sync to get my Air and IPhone to sync to right page. Luckily D and I don't ever read the same book at the same time but when I open a book he has read it will give me furthest page HE has read. i click on do not sync to furthest page.
