The way that works is to email these books to your Kindle and iOS device.
The incorrect way is to “sideload” them-meaning copying them from your computer directly to the device as you would if you mounted your Kindle reader as a USB device or added books to the Kindle app on your iPad via iTunes. So while you can read them, they won’t sync page information between devices unless you load them in the correct way. Books that have been converted to Mobi format often lack this metadata.
These books contain a particular bit of metadata that tells the Kindle reader that page syncing can be carried out with this particular piece of literature. Is there any way to make them behave like Amazon’s ebooks?Īs some are so fond of saying, “You’re loading it wrong.” It’s like this: Ebooks sold by Amazon are in the Mobi format. While the books I purchase from Amazon stay in sync, I sometimes add books to the two devices that I got somewhere other than Amazon ( Project Gutenberg, for example). I have the Kindle app on my iPad as well as a “real” Kindle e-reader. Brian Hamilton, a reader who reads, is frustrated by what he perceives to be a Kindle limitation.
